Werner Skagit Straight Shaft Paddle 2 Pieces

Kayaks are an expensive purchase. Some people can only spend a few hundred dollars on a kayak, so they skimp on the accessories, such as a decent paddle. A good quality paddle can significantly improve paddling, and a weight loss of just a few ounces can dramatically impact the back and shoulders. As well as being lightweight, the Werner Skagit has an adjustable angle blade to help in varying paddling conditions.

A very versatile paddle at a great price, the Werner Skagit is touted as one of Werner's best values. Share the love this holiday season! Gift one of Werner's top paddles!

LED Light System For Kayaks And SUPs

What could be more fun than paddling by moonlight? What if it doesn't work? Northern Lights' underwater LED lights have solved that problem. Enjoy the illumination of the waterway while you paddle or even see the aquatic life when you go. These lights have multicolor settings and are removable. Additionally, they have built-in life jackets. Even if they fall off, they will float on top instead of illuminating the bottom of the water and never being seen again.

You can give this as a gift to the night owl in your life as a great way to light the way!
