Good to know
- 230cm suits most narrower recreational kayaks, so if your boat is wide or you sit high, consider a longer paddle.
- Rinse the ferrule with fresh water after salt water trips so the two halves keep snapping together cleanly.
KayakDIY take: A solid two-piece paddle is still one of the first things I’d sort out on any new boat. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
