The Oru Fiberglass Paddle is the upgrade to Oru’s standard paddle, with fiberglass blades and shaft and more than half a pound less weight. It still splits into four pieces to fit inside a folded Oru Kayak. Length and feather angle are both adjustable, and it comes with a mesh carrying case.

Good to know
- Use the mesh case to keep all four pieces together, since losing one section leaves you without a paddle.
- Rinse the joints with fresh water after salt water so they stay easy to assemble.
KayakDIY take: Weight adds up over a long day, so a lighter paddle is often the first upgrade worth making. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
