We'd like to introduce you to the Brooklyn Kayak Company BKC KP224 Heavy Duty Lightweight Kayak Paddle. It seems like a contradiction, doesn't it? Heavy duty but light weight? Well, pick up this aluminum and plastic three-position, two-piece 86-inch kayak paddle and you'll see that the lightweight statement isn't just talk.

Next try using the paddle for a few years in all sorts of water conditions and then circle back to us about the heavy duty of it all. The BKC KP224 kayak paddle is not only durable; it's well designed, too. The feathered, contour-molded blades slice into the water and propel you along with minimal effort. The paddle features dual anti-slip grips that keep your hands in place and help keep you in control. It has drip guards that help keep you and your gear dry.

It locks in three positions, thus allowing for use by paddlers of various sizes and in various conditions, and then separates into two pieces for storage or transport when the day's adventure is over.

ADJUSTABLE POSITIONING: Paddle locks in three different positions, with a maximum 86" length, allowing for use by paddlers of various sizes.

SUPERIOR BLADE DESIGN: Contour-molded feathered paddle blades are slender and ideally shaped to cut into the water and propel you along, offering superb speed and control.

ANTI-SLIP GRIPS: The BKC KP224's shaft features two large anti-slip grip areas that maximize comfort and control in any weather and water conditions. It has drip guards that help keep you and your gear dry.

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION: The aluminum shaft and durable molded plastic blades of the KP224 ensure years of reliable performance.

EASY STORAGE & TRANSPORT: The paddle can be separated into two sections for easy storage when the day's adventure is over. Reassembly for the next excursion takes seconds.
