BENDING BRANCHES Whisper 2-Piece Snap-Button Recreational Kayak Paddle; (Aluminum Shaft/Black Blade) is a versatile and adjustable paddle that is perfect for recreational kayaking.
This paddle features an adjustable construction, allowing it to easily separate into two pieces for compact travel and storage. It comes with a snug-fitting 3 hole snap-button ferrule that can be adjusted for feathering angles of 0° and 60°, providing both left and right hand control.
The fiberglass-reinforced blades of the Whisper paddle offer the perfect balance of weight and durability. This means smooth paddling with less fatigue, even with a heavy load. The grips are ovalized and the shaft is coated to provide an all-around comfort grip.
The lightweight, yet strong, aluminum shaft of the paddle is designed for comfortable and confident hand control. It features 3M Versafit over the oval grip area, ensuring a comfortable grip with no blisters.
Now, let's address some common questions about the BENDING BRANCHES Whisper paddle:
1. Can the two separate oars be used on an inflatable boat as well as a kayak? No, they are going to be far too short for an inflatable boat unless it is inner-tube size. Kindly, Renee
2. Is one shaft oval? Actually, both paddles are slightly oval at the area of the black hand grips. They feel ergonomically designed and are very comfortable to grip. The design assures that the paddle does not twist while being used when your hands are wet/slippery. These paddles are very well designed and constructed, lightweight, and extremely effective in the water. I purchased two pairs of this model. The Amazon price I received could NOT be beat at any local retailer.
3. The paddle that showed up does not have the BENDING BRANCHES graphics. Are they selling a knock-off version? Not that I know of.
4. Is this a high-angle paddle? I have a low-angle paddle for touring, but I want something a little more aggressive. The BENDING BRANCHES Whisper paddle comes with a snug-fitting 3 hole snap-button ferrule that is adjustable for feathering angles of 0° and 60°, both left and right. This paddle is available in lengths from 210cm to 240cm, in 10cm increments. I hope that answers your question. Kindly, Renee
