Paddles

Carbon weave or fiberglass, bent or straight shaft, creeker or play boat blades? Decisions, decisions, decisions…The straight shaft, fiberglass paddles are typically less expensive, and there are even some plastic paddles out there still. But once people switch over to the high-performance, more expensive, bent shaft paddles, they usually never look back.

AT Paddles– Located in Hood River, AT makes some of the most high-quality paddles on the market as well as some lower-priced items for the budget-buyers out there.

Werner – The other best and most well respected paddles on the market. Made in Washington.

Harmony – Owned by Confluence Watersports, these paddles are on the less-expensive end of the spectrum and are another good option.
