What’s in this video

A lot of kayakers spend all their time researching the kayak and then grab whatever paddle is cheap. In this video I go over why picking the right paddle for your kayak is important, and the size and type questions to think about before you buy.

I mention a few paddle brands worth looking at: the Backwater Assassin, Werner, Aqua Bound and Bending Branches. I filmed this one in 360 VR, so set the player to the highest resolution for the best view.
