everyday shoes
(6 x)

Many of our paddle shoes are now so chic that they can be used as everyday sneakers.

aluminum shaft
(2 x)

The cheapest paddles come with heavy but scratch-resistant aluminum shafts. The stiffness does not come close to good fiberglass or carbon shafts. Fatigue sets in much earlier over longer distances.

abdominal entry
(1 x)

Dry suits with belly entry

Advantage: maximum dense leg and foot areas, entry possible without outside help.

Disadvantage: Be careful when using the life jacket. Depending on the model and size combination, the constant chafing between buckles and zippers may be annoying. In this case you might switch to back entry or try a different life jacket.

leg entry
(3 x)

Leg-entry drysuits

Advantage: no annoying, stiff zippers in the shoulder area and therefore maximum mobility. Dressing possible without outside help.

Disadvantage: If you stand in the water for a long time, you might get a few droplets. This applies less to touring paddlers or sea kayakers, but more to whitewater paddlers who may have to stand in the creek for a long time to belay and scout.

leg guards
(2 x)

Legguards: Protection for legs and knees.

mountain belt
(6 x)

Chest strap essential for heavy white water. Can be triggered quickly with a panic trigger/quick release.

bow lifting body
(1 x)

Bow buoyancy aid for the kayak.

Canadians
(5 x)

Here you will find special products for canoe riders and all tube canoes.

Carbon shaft
(29 x)

A carbon shaft stands above all for lightness and rigidity.
Different amounts of carbon in the fiber structure of the different shafts ensure optimal power transmission for every paddle stroke. In addition, the low weight prevents rapid fatigue on long tours.

If you often have to look when paddling whitewater and then always throw your paddle into stony corners, you should buy a scratch-resistant fiberglass paddle.

Carbon paddles should be better packed during transport.

creeker
(11 x)

A creeker is used in alpine white water. The large volume ensures good buoyancy to minimize the risk of getting caught between the stones on steep, rocky terrain.
Also, creekers may offer a little more security from capsizing in the easier whitewater area than river runners that are more tail-heavy. Of course, this is also a matter of training.

Crossover
(4 x)

The "crossover kayak" is not a standardized term.

The boat types are sometimes rather longer white water boats with a luggage hatch and sometimes rather short touring boats with a blunt snout, a bent bow (rocker) and also a luggage hatch.

roof rack
(2 x)

Accessories for safely stowing boats on the car roof.

Anti-theft device
(1 x)

Double fireplace
(38 x)

A double gusset on paddling jacket or dry pants provides a tight transition between this two-piece clothing option.
In addition, the paddle jacket can be connected to the spray deck as tightly as possible, which is why the double chimney is standard in whitewater.

thin undersuits
(5 x)

All thinner base layers/functional undergarments that don't fit into the keywords fleece or neoprene.

Dynel edge
(3 x)

Oh yeah! This is important:

• for the unwary
• or generally for tours on stony waters.

My first full-carbon paddle from Werner didn't have an impact-resistant Dynema edge (or Dynel, i.e. a very impact-resistant fiber material that is also used as the core of climbing ropes). After a few groynes on the Rhine, it broke. The second, also by Werner, showed no weaknesses thanks to this embedded edge.

So: Never again without!

EH packsack
(1 x)

Small stuff sacks for first aid kits or mobile phone cases converted for emergency medication.

Simple life jacket
(12 x)

Life jackets with a simple cut for after-work training, hiking paddling or easy white water.

single fireplace
(10 x)

In contrast to the double chimney, maximum tightness at the transition to the spray deck cannot be achieved with a single chimney.

Beginner
(9 x)

one piece
(1 x)

one-piece paddle
(42 x)

A one-piece paddle is obviously not divisible. Many paddle manufacturers also offer 2-, 3- or 4-piece versions of their established models. These cost a little more, but can also be stowed across the trunk or even in the boat itself as a spare paddle. And when ordering online, divisible paddles are cheaper to ship!

electric pump
(2 x)

Pump without sweating!

Elbow pads
(2 x)

Elbow pads

End of season sale
(19 x)

Bargain Alert!!

Ego / Benevolence
(11 x)

For some paddlers, the wrists are not perpendicular to the forearm.

For some, the angle is up to 45°. An ergo shaft allows the wrist and elbow joints to be relieved by curving the shaft of the paddle.

There are ergo shafts (or bent shafts) with different angles. Because the curved grip area is always in a fixed position, length-adjustable ergo stocks only make sense to a limited extent. So please pay attention to the right length.

For the same reason, there are also different bicycle handlebars or curl bars.

Bicycle trailers
(2 x)

All parts for the Eckla bicycle trailer for boat transport.

Mittens
(2 x)

Neoprene mittens offer good protection against cold and wind. In contrast to finger gloves, the mittens have direct contact with the shaft and therefore better contact with the paddle.

finger gloves
(4 x)

Neoprene finger gloves provide excellent protection against cold and wind. They are a very popular accessory for many paddlers, especially in winter.
Compared to mittens and paddle paws with thicker material of the paddle shaft, unfortunately not optimal in the hand.

fin/skeg
(5 x)

The skeg, a small retractable fin in the back of the boat, keeps the boat running straight, especially if the boat has a lot of rocker, i.e. a banana shape. Long crossover, touring and sea kayaks with rocker are highly susceptible to side winds and waves. The skeg works wonders. The children's boats from Soul also have skegs.

Some of the boats listed here have a skeg included, with others it is available as an accessory.

A nasty classic is not to retract the skeg when landing. This happens regularly, even to experienced paddlers... Fortunately, it can be replaced on almost all boats 😉

Very straight boats don't need a skeg because they just go straight anyway. a folding rudder is more appropriate here.

flat bottom
(18 x)

The flat bottom was introduced to achieve better maneuverability. If the boat does not have a pronounced keel that lies deeper in the water, then it takes less effort to turn, for example for eddying. Overall, however, the immersed surface is higher and thus also the frictional resistance. Flat bottoms can occur along the entire length of the boat, only in the maximum beam area, or only at the stern. All boat shapes that require high maneuverability are available with flat bottoms, play boats, creekers, crossovers for flat, narrow small rivers and even sea kayaks that have been optimized for surfing and playing in the surf zone are available with flat bottoms.

Advantages:
– much more manoeuvrable depending on the length of the flat areas
– the boat is a few centimeters less deep in the water at the deepest point

Disadvantages:
- a little slower
– a little heavier, because more material is needed to make flat floors stiff enough.

Pulley
(1 x)

Here you can find all the parts you need for a pulley block.

Fleeces

Fleece one piece
(1 x)

You can find all one-piece base layers here.

(6 x)

Fine, warm undergarments for your legs.

Fleece long sleeve
(4 x)

Finely warm underwear for the upper body.

Fleece hat
(1 x)

Multifunctional cold protection for your head. Under the paddle helmet or in other sports.

Fleece socks
(1 x)

For paddling in or over your feet. Or also keeps you warm in hiking boots.

fleece t shirt
(2 x)

Polartec for short paddle jackets.

Women life jacket
(7 x)

Some manufacturers now have an extra women's cut for their life jackets.

Women spraydeck
(1 x)

These spraydecks are explicitly declared as women's cut.

They have a shorter chimney, which is an advantage, especially if you have a large bust.

Front entry
(2 x)

Front entry dry suits.

Advantage: maximum dense leg and foot areas compared to leg entry, entry possible without outside help.

Disadvantage: Be careful when using the life jacket. Depending on the model and size combination, the constant chafing between buckles and zippers may be annoying. In this case you might switch to back entry or try a different life jacket.

Front entry (life jacket)
(21 x)

Life jacket with front entry.

Similar to the side entry, you can open the vest with a zipper or snap closure to put the vest on more easily.

The following applies to both models: they are more comfortable to handle, but have a higher risk of tearing if there is no continuous belt running around, when a swimmer is to be brought to safety on the shoulder belt.

full cut
(1 x)

Helmets with ear protection can be found here.

Full face
(3 x)

synonym: integral ; Here you will find helmets with face protection.

Suitable for pregnant women
(1 x)

booties
(24 x)

With careful handling, booties ensure maximum tightness of the dry pants or dry suit.

Luggage
(2 x)

Here you will find pack sacks that are very suitable as luggage due to their carrying systems.

fiberglass shaft
(33 x)

A fiberglass shaft (GRP) is less rigid than a carbon shaft (CRP) despite being heavier. This means a slightly more sluggish conversion of the power per paddle stroke with a little more energy loss due to the cushioning. In return, the force peaks on the wrists are lower.

In addition, glass is heavier, but also less sensitive to scratches and also cheaper. For the vast majority of paddlers, GRP is the best value for money.

elasticated
(1 x)

Belts
(2 x)

Belt for throwbag and/or lanyard for SUP.

half cut
(3 x)

All helmets with ear freedom are listed here.

half slice
(5 x)

We call a new generation of Riverrunners the Halfslice, which combines the best features from different boat models.
Put simply, creeker in the front, party in the back.
On the one hand, there is the conspicuously curved tip of these boat models, the so-called "rocker", which makes boofing extremely easy, if not can even be described as a kind of "auto-boof function".
On the other hand, in contrast to the creeker, a halfslice has a flat rear, which ensures the fun factor even in light white water. Because the tail can be submerged, the boof is often lighter than the creeker.
Most models are also quite long compared to older riverrunners, which makes them very easy to accelerate. And in connection with the rocker explained above, you can also explore quite sporty levels of difficulty with this type of boat.

Real all-rounders that are really fun! It's best to try it yourself, we also have many half-slice boats for testing.

Handwarmers

(2 x)

Fitting and spare parts for kayak seats

canoe float
(2 x)

Buoyancy for the open canoe.

Hood
(21 x)

Paddle jackets and hooded dry suits

Kevlar edge
(5 x)

If you look into a boathouse or a paddling club, you will find that almost all well-used and worn spraydecks get holes on the edges (unless they are made of Kevlar ...): Where you always hit it with the paddle or press your fingernails in or they pulls from the nail, etc.

The Kevlar threads in the protective fabric of the products marked here reliably prevent this.

The extra price pays off: an HF Dryskirt Kevlar, for example, usually has a much longer service life than simple products, even with intensive use.

Children's paddling jacket
(3 x)

Little paddling jackets for kids.

Children's life jacket
(4 x)

So that the very little ones are also safe in the boat.

Children's spraydeck
(1 x)

Spraydecks for the little ones.

Children's boat
(3 x)

Boats for children (all sizes and ages).

Children's paddle
(1 x)

Paddles for the little ones.

stable
(10 x)

small shaft
(16 x)

A small shaft is good for paddlers with small hands to make it easier to grip.

knee strap
(5 x)

The knee strap is more important with neoprene than with nylon: then it could be that with pressure from the knee alone, from below, the material stretches so far that the blanket does not jump off. Especially if the blanket is very tight and the person has rather short legs or little strength.

Of course there is still the front loop, but let's be honest: who hasn't accidentally stuck the front loop under the elastic. with knee belt you have a backup!

ankle protection
(6 x)

Any shoes that go over the ankles.

Short sleeve paddling jacket
(4 x)

If you like it warm and dry on your torso, but still want to dip your arms in cool water or stretch out towards the warming sun, you can choose a short-sleeved paddle jacket.
Also helps against typical paddler tans and shifts the imprint from the wrist to the upper arm.

Short sleeve undersuit
(5 x)

All undersuits for short sleeve paddling jackets.

Hatches
(24 x)

These boats come with cargo hatches. You have to check whether the storage space is just enough for a muesli bar or expedition luggage based on the storage volume.

There are day tourers with one hatch and sea kayaks with up to 4 hatches.

Prijon offers combined hatches that are closed with Neuprene covers and hard plastic covers.

Most other manufacturers rely on rubber/PU/caoutchouc hatch covers. These can be perfectly tight as long as you don't get grains of sand under the sealing area and the bulkhead to the passenger compartment has been properly sealed.

The latter is far too often a little leaky, unfortunately not that rare and almost independent of the manufacturer. It is best to check this immediately after purchase. If in doubt, ask us for a suitable sealant.

laminate sheet
(19 x)

latex cuff
(35 x)

Latex cuff(s) at the neck or sleeves achieve maximum density on paddle jackets and dry suits.

Some paddlers get skin irritations from the latex. You can counteract this by always diligently dusting the cuffs with baby powder (talcum powder) or carefully shaving the beard transition on the neck.

If the latex becomes sticky, especially through perspiration, then please rinse with clear water and powder in new ones.

If all that is not enough, or if a lack of comfort is the main argument, then a jacket / suit with neoprene cuffs is recommended. These are more comfortable and durable, less allergenic, but also noticeably less dense.

Incidentally, we also have talc as an accessory: McNett Protalc talc care product for latex

Dungarees
(6 x)

Dry pants with bibs for density in two-piece clothing options

Leash
(4 x)

Suspension lines for SUP

Airboat Seat
(1 x)

Various seating systems for our airboats.

For retrofitting when more seats are required or as a spare part in case something breaks or gets lost.

air seat
(5 x)

These inflatable kayaks have inflatable air seats. These are often removable and therefore adjustable in their position.

These seats reduce the pack size of the boat during transport. In addition, they are almost as comfortable as an armchair.

Of course, real packrafts completely do without additional seats to save even more weight.

Hatch cover
(1 x)

Whether for storage or transport. With that the hatch is closed. Also saves fuel, with a boat on the car roof.

Knives
(3 x)

Synonyms: flow meter, paddle knife, folding knife

Cap
(3 x)

You can find all hats here. Whether neo or fleece. Megawarm or a touch of insulation.

more sustainable
(18 x)

There is rightly a lot of discussion about the sustainability of outdoor clothing. According to the manufacturer, the products marked with this keyword are more sustainably produced.

You can also find out more about the various manufacturers and their philosophies on the manufacturer's website.

When in doubt, we will always try to recommend the more sustainable product, e.g. made from recycled material.

neoprene pants
(6 x)

Long neoprene pants. Can be used as an undergarment or as a LongJohn alternative.

Neoprene shorts
(3 x)

Here are just the short neoprene shorts. More shorts can be found under “Shorts”.

Neoprene Long John
(6 x)

Legs long without sleeves. The standard wetsuit among paddlers.

Neoprene long sleeve
(4 x)

Long-sleeved neoprene clothing can be used as an undergarment or without a paddling jacket.

neoprene cap
(2 x)

Neoprene caps as protection against the cold under the helmet.

neoprene t shirt
(4 x)

Short-sleeved protection against the cold for warm days.

Neoprene cuffs
(6 x)

Here we only list the jackets that only have neoprene cuffs, i.e. a Velcro closure, which makes them significantly less tight on the sleeves and neck.

Freedom of movement is guaranteed.

Neoprene cuff
(20 x)

Neoprene cuffs are not quite as tight compared to latex cuffs. On the other hand, they are more robust and possibly more comfortable to wear.

Especially for those who always get a skin rash from latex cuffs.

Additional neoprene cuffs are fitted over many neoprene cuffs with Velcro, giving things a double seal and responsive to small wrists.

Neoprene shoes
(7 x)

Simple, tried and true neoprene shoes for any water activity.

Neoprene socks
(3 x)

Neoprene socks as protection against the cold in whitewater shoes and booties.

Mesh pocket
(1 x)

Maps or emergency medication can be stowed away in a mesh pocket on the spray deck.

nylon spraydecks
(3 x)

Nylon and polyurethane spraydecks

Cheap Nylon and sometimes also PU spraydecks are OK for occasional paddlers in the warmer months of the year. The second big advantage is the one size of the chimney, which is why clubs or rental companies in particular do not have to stock up on 5 different belly sizes.

Anyone who wants to keep their kidneys warm in cold water or winter is better off with neoprene. Neoprene is also tighter on the boat and belly, and thanks to its flexibility it also fits a larger range of hatch sizes.

The knee strap is more important with neoprene than with nylon: it could be that if you put pressure on your knees from below, the material will stretch so far that the blanket won't come off.

packraft
(4 x)

Packrafting sometimes also bike rafting is often promoted as a new sport. It is a variety of paddling that takes you back to the roots!

From the very beginning, paddling was not only a sport but also a journey. Discover places that have no road access. There are almost no such places in Europe today.

However, in Lapland, Alaska, Patagonia, Central Asia and similar sparsely populated regions there are still waters that can only be reached by carrying your material.

And that's where the packraft comes into play: boats suitable for lakes and white water from 4 kg! A dream comes true! Trekking + paddling in a multiday adventure!”

Get advice!

Paddle paws
(3 x)

Paddling paws are a good protection against cold and wind. They can easily be attached to the paddle. So you can slip in or out as needed. You also have direct contact with the shaft of the paddle: an advantage compared to full gloves.

Paddle shoe
(14 x)

Here are all the shoes that are suitable for the water.

Paddle bag
(2 x)

A bag for your paddle. For careful transport or for safe stowage of the spare paddle in the boat.

Polartec
(1 x)

Polo life jacket
(2 x)

Polo life jackets with custom print

Polo spraydeck
(1 x)

Spray decks specially designed for polo boats.

ratchet straps
(15 x)

Ratchet straps are very common for adjusting the backrests in kayaks. So you can clamp yourself into the boat for optimal boat contact.

The downside to the rope clamps now used by many retailers is wear and tear and possible susceptibility to sediment.
Spare parts help with this shortcoming, the ratchets are usually interchangeable.

zipper
(1 x)

zip collar
(12 x)

Paddle jackets and base layers with zip at collar.

Relief zip
(19 x)

Helps you not to have to undress completely during the pee break.

River runner
(13 x)

River runner or half-slice boats combine small, playful playboats and large-volume creekers for heavy whitewater. This makes these boats perfect for learning how to kayak in a playful way. With a lot of volume in the bow and strong rocker, these boats can also be driven in heavy white water. A mostly flat tail allows playful elements like undercutting. Kayaks with a volume well below 300 liters are also often referred to as river runners.

back entry
(11 x)

Dry suits with back entry

Advantage: maximum tightness in the leg and foot area if you stand in the water a lot.

Disadvantage: Tightening is only possible for less flexible people in teamwork.

backpack
(2 x)

All pack sacks with carrying straps.

round bottom
(5 x)

The circular cross-section has the smallest surface area of ​​a prismatic body. The smaller the surface, the lower the surface friction. So racing boats drive almost exclusively with the cross-sections of a gutter. Fast whitewater boats and touring boats for long, open routes also benefit from the round bottom. In most cases, however, the cross sections of these boats are not extremely round, because: The perfect circular cross section does not offer any form resistance to tilting. (Like a ball that spins forever in water, unlike a surfboard, which requires effort to tip.)

Compared to the flat bottom, there is another advantage that can be easily illustrated with a sheet of paper: if you lift a flat sheet at one end, the sheet sags limply. A half-curled, round sheet remains stiff. So if you want a flat, stiff paper, you need much more material thickness.

The round keel allows the boat to run straight ahead as if on rails. So if you spend a lot of time on small rivers, you will hate it.

Advantages:
– Noticeably faster
– Stiffer or lighter
– Better tracking

Disadvantages:
– Less maneuverability
- More wobbly
– The boat is a few centimeters lower in the water at the deepest point

Foam core
(35 x)

The foam core in the paddle blade

keeps the front and back laminate layers apart, making the blade thicker without adding much weight. This makes the blade stiffer, so the force is put less into deforming plastic and more directly onto the water.

The difference is like between 2 sheets of paper and corrugated cardboard (which itself is just 2 sheets of paper + the corrugated middle paper): the corrugations keep the two layers apart, making the construction much stiffer.

foam seat
(5 x)

These inflatable boats have foam-filled seats instead of inflatable air seats.
These stabilize the posture and isolate the buttocks.

thigh brace
(2 x)

Thigh braces for the kayak so that the footwork works well.

Inflatable kayak touring
(8 x)

In contrast to corresponding whitewater models, inflatable kayaks used in touring are not designed for manoeuvrability, but above all for stable straight travel. In many cases there are additional fins/skegs for this.

Many inflatable kayak drivers cite the lack of storage and transport capacities as the reason for their purchase, which of course makes them attractive compared to long plastic touring kayaks.

And with an inflatable kayak you can also go on beautiful tours on the river, lake or sea.

Some of our inflatable kayaks even have steering systems based on real sea kayaks. However, they are not suitable for serious sea kayaking.

Inflatable kayak whitewater
(7 x)

Inflatable kayaks often do not have a good reputation among plastic boat drivers. And there is no doubt that conventional whitewater kayaks have a greater fun factor, with the right level of skill, due to their maneuverability.

However, inflatable kayaks also offer clear advantages in whitewater and here, too, some manufacturers have really come up with something when it comes to maneuverability.
For example, inflatable kayaks are easier to salvage in the event of a capsize, even without knowledge of Eskimo and are much more stable than plastic boats. They offer whitewater beginners the opportunity to gain experience in whitewater more quickly.

In addition, some luggage can be easily stowed away for multi-day tours and the boat itself can also be easily stowed in the trunk without the additional purchase of a roof rack.

Tube canoe touring
(2 x)

Most inflatable canoes can be used not only in white water, but also in touring.

Compared to conventional canoes, they offer the advantage that they are very robust and can also negotiate smaller rapids.

In addition, the inflatable canoes can of course also be easily transported in the trunk instead of purchasing an extra roof rack, an advantage of all inflatable boats.

The downside to other big canoes may be the susceptibility to wind, especially on the lake. Here it is important to choose an appropriate model with less raised walls if you already know that most of the tours are to be made there.

Inflatable canoe whitewater
(3 x)

The purchase of a whitewater inflatable canoe can have many reasons.

Why not take the family out on the white water in an open inflatable canoe if the children are not yet able or willing to go kayaking themselves?
Or as a tandem, experience the river from a different perspective than in a kayak.

In addition, the inflatable canoes can of course also be easily transported in the trunk instead of purchasing an extra roof rack, an advantage of all inflatable boats.

Slip entry (life jacket)
(14 x)

Life jackets that can be easily slipped on from below.

The risk of slipping off or accidentally opening during rescue is the lowest, especially in the case of the variants with all-round belts.

Depending on the model and personal mobility, handling when changing clothes is only slightly more complex than with the variants with front or side entry.

Floating buoy
(3 x)

Swimming buoys and attachment for SUP

Sea kayak
(19 x)

Sea kayak paddle
(15 x)

Sea kayak paddling jacket
(14 x)

Sea kayak dry suit
(5 x)

rope clamps
(6 x)

Cable clamps as a way to adjust the backrest quickly and individually offer an alternative to the ratchets that were almost exclusively used in the past.

Initially celebrated as an innovative, less wear-resistant system than conventional ratchets, disadvantages have now also become noticeable here.

Anyone who has ever slipped their rope out of the cleat while boofing has already helped with their boat with other ropes or knots.
Manufacturers have remedied with less slippery metal clamps instead of the plastic clamps.

Thus, as with everything, there is no permanent perfection with frequent use. But here, too, if something breaks, the rope and clamps can be replaced.

Side entry (life jacket)
(3 x)

Life jacket with side entry.

Similar to the front entry, you can open the vest with a zipper or snap closure to put the vest on more easily.

The following applies to both models: they are more comfortable to handle, but have a higher risk of tearing if there is no continuous belt running around, when a swimmer is to be brought to safety on the shoulder belt.

self-draining
(8 x)

Self-draining is understood to be an airboat in which the water that enters via splashes does not have to be exhausted by hand (sponge, bilge pump).

There are different variants, from holes on the side of the quilted floor to a bilge hose, which can also be closed as required (e.g. if you want dry feet in shallow water).

Some boat models offer the self-draining function for self-decision. Drainage holes are pre-punched here and depending on whether the boat is to be used for touring or white water, you can add them yourself or not.

Semidry
(23 x)

We call the whitewater paddle jackets Semidry, which (in part) do without latex cuffs.
There are versions with latex cuffs on the sleeves and neoprene cuffs on the neck, as well as jackets that only have neoprene cuffs.

The density is not quite as good as latex, hence the term “semidry”
The advantages: less prone to wear and tear, less constricting feeling on the neck and usually a lower price.

Some dry pants are also listed here in their simple version with neoprene cuffs instead of socks.

Shorts
(5 x)

Here you will find all shorts. Whether neoprene or boaters shorts.

seat board
(4 x)

You can find seat boards for retrofitting or as spare parts for various inflatable canoes and the corresponding boats with this keyword.

Control system
(1 x)

Accessories: Steering systems for touring and air boats and fins for easier straight-ahead driving.

Control system can be retrofitted
(27 x)

A steering system can be retrofitted on these boats. You can find these in the corresponding accessories category.

SUP paddle
(1 x)

divisible paddle
(26 x)

A divisible paddle can be broken down into 2, 3 or even 4 parts. This makes transport easier, for example. Eg across in the trunk or to take with you on the plane. When ordering online with parcel service delivery, divisible paddles are cheaper, because from 2m forward shipping may come into play.

With many two-piece paddles, it is also possible to vary the length and twist of the paddle.

3- or even 4-piece paddles are particularly suitable as replacement paddles for abandoned paddling expeditions, which can be easily stowed in the rear of the kayak.

touring kayak
(21 x)

Touring jacket
(20 x)

Touring paddle
(21 x)

There are basically two basic variants of touring paddles (= hiking paddles): For the flat paddling technique and the steep paddling technique.

The latter is more efficient, but requires a certain learning effort. The usual lengths start at about 205cm. From this length, we also strongly recommend divisibility. This not only saves shipping costs, but also transport damage in your own vehicle.

In principle, there are three types of divisibility:

• in firm detent , so the angle is always the same
• in variable detent, the angle is freely selectable, the length is the same
• in variable clamping, with a freely selectable angle and up to 10cm additional length.

In addition, some paddles are even used in 3 or 4 parts offered to use them as eg in a boat Replacement paddle to be able to stow away.

If you want to do long tours in a sporty way, a carbon paddle is a good idea.

Touring life jacket
(18 x)

Life jackets for touring and sea kayaking

Touring spray deck
(6 x)

Touring spraydecks are not as demanding as whitewater spraydecks, which is why there are no extra Kevlar edges here. Of course, they should still be tight, which is why there are both cheaper nylon blankets and denser neoprene models.

In addition, some have extra mesh pockets for storing maps.

Touring dry suit
(6 x)

Touring dry pants
(8 x)

Transport bag included
(1 x)

A suitable transport bag is already included in the purchase price for these airboats.

For all other airboats there are corresponding transport bags in the dry bag category.

Dry bag
(7 x)

When used correctly, these products will seal inside and out.

comprehensive thigh braces
(8 x)

Here we list the corresponding kayaks, where the manufacturers value comprehensive thigh supports in their standard seating systems.

This is often an advantage for good maneuvering and a stable seat in the whitewater boat.
One finds thigh braces that are too comprehensive, especially with wider thighs a bit cramped.
You have to test yourself. Many seats can also be individually adapted to body shapes.

variable number of people
(1 x)

Convertible top can be retrofitted
(1 x)

You can find the corresponding tops available from us under the spray decks or using the search function for the keyword airboat top.

cover available
(2 x)

These airboats have a permanently installed canopy under which luggage can be stowed.

For even more density, there are often also spray skirts for the hatch of the convertible top.

adjustable paddle
(20 x)

All adjustable paddles. More differentiation via extended keyword search (touring, white water,...)

Full Protection / Integral
(4 x)

Upstream sheet
(10 x)

A blade placed in front stabilizes on the forward stroke, but creates flutter more easily on a counterstroke. In addition, you get a few inches further forward, to immerse yourself. And you can pull out the blade to steer with tighter elbows.

A strongly upstream blade rewards paddlers who already have a sophisticated paddling technique. Especially if you cover a lot of distance, or if you drive tight curves with your arms narrow, you still tend to go forward, i.e. in slalom.

As a toy boat driver probably not.

Whitewater spraydeck
(10 x)

Only spray skirts made of neoprene are used for white water. In addition, they often have Kevlar-reinforced borders, so that they stay seated on the coaming even if they capsize.

Here, when attaching the spraydeck, care should be taken to ensure that the existing grip loops can guarantee an emergency exit, since the elastic neoprene is not always so easy to push open with the knees.

Whitewater paddle

The usual lengths for whitewater paddles for adults are between 192 and 200cm. Divisibility is not mandatory, but it saves shipping costs and makes transport in your own vehicle easier every time.

In principle, there are three types of divisibility:

• in firm detent , so the angle is always the same
• in variable detent, the angle is freely selectable, the length is the same
• in variable clamping, with a freely selectable angle and up to 10cm additional length.

In addition, some paddles are even used in 3 or 4 parts offered to use them as eg in a boat Replacement paddle to be able to stow away.

Adjustable angle & length
(20 x)

Mechanisms to adjust the angle and length of paddles:

• – Snaps in the aluminum shaft with different holes
• – Bayonet locks
• - Screw connections ala broomstick (almost only with SUP paddles)
• – Werner Vario division with 15° increments of snap-in and push button
• – Clamping lever made of aluminum or plastic

The latter solution has prevailed, it is used by numerous manufacturers, because it allows a relatively effortless operation even on the water (in contrast to the push button of the aluminum paddle and the broomstick connections). In addition, the clamp lever connections are also adjustable in length, 10-15cm, in contrast to the vario clamp and the button connection.

How useful is the adjustability?

• When paddling long distances, it can make sense to vary the length from time to time in order to put a different strain on the muscles. Or when different paddlers share a spare paddle. Or when they are used with boats of different widths. Length adjustability makes only limited sense, for example with ergo shafts, because the grip position also moves apart.
• Ovalized shafts are glued to the blades. So you not only turn the position of the blade, but also the ovalization. Therefore, a variation of the rotation is usually only pleasantly usable by a maximum of +/- 20° to the "design angle".

Throwbags and throwbag belts

Throwbags are characterized by compact, floating ropes. These are not approved for climbing even though they have sufficient breaking strength.

A good throwbag is between 9 and 30 meters long, can be easily stowed in the boat, or some smaller ones even in the life jacket. You can also use it to build pulleys for salvage.

Additional handles on the coaming
(10 x)

Normally, almost all kayaks intended for whitewater have up to three additional handles near the Sülrand in addition to the two handles at the bow and stern.

On the one hand, this makes it easier to salvage the boats in white water. But it is also good for getting out quickly in difficult terrain, you can thread the ready-to-hand sling through a handle within reach to secure it.
Also, recently, boats that don't have these handles have been banned from participating in some whitewater races.

Since some manufacturers do without these handles, which we believe are quite advantageous, on some of their River Runners, we have introduced this keyword to you.
