The Tarpon paddle was designed and optimized for the Tarpon family of kayaks, but it also works exceptionally well with other rec and touring kayaks. The paddle's shape, size, and proprietary blade curvature deliver the optimal angle of entry and stroke depth for smooth, efficient, and flutter-free strokes regardless of paddle style or experience level.

This paddle from Wilderness Systems offers a lightweight, yet more durable option, with a resilient fiberglass blade and a shaft that is 50% carbon and 50% fiberglass.
