Touring paddle

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.
