Featuring a shorter paddle shaft and smaller blades, the Hi Five paddle is sized specifically for younger paddlers. The smaller diameter shaft accommodates smaller hands and offers a more comfortable fit for kids than a standard adult paddle.

Generally well-suited to paddlers under 5 feet tall. Additionally, kids can change the angle of their blade just like the grown-ups do. This paddle works perfectly with the Hi Five kids' kayak but will also allow your children to more comfortably paddle other smaller kayaks.

This paddle has Foam plugs in the shaft that allow it to float if dropped in the water.
