The Apex Glass has high-angle blades with a buoyant foam core and carbon-reinforced edge on a 50% carbon, 50% fiberglass shaft. A low-profile lever adjusts length by up to 20 cm and sets the feather angle, which makes it easy to share between paddlers of different sizes.

Good to know

  • Wider fishing kayaks generally call for the longer 220-240 cm version.
  • Use the adjustable length to fine-tune it when you switch boats or seat heights.

KayakDIY take: An adjustable paddle is handy when one paddle has to work for more than one boat or person. For more ideas, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
