With polypropylene blades and a high-strength aluminum shaft, the Carlisle Day Tripper is an ideal entry-level kayak paddle. Carlisle's asymmetrical polypropylene blades are shaped to produce smooth, efficient strokes, perfect for an afternoon on the water. A lightweight anodized aluminum shaft features an oval construction for quick hand placement and firmer gripping. Use the pushbutton takedown to feather the blades at 60 degrees or inline for right- or left-handed control. Measures 230 cm (90.5 inches); weighs 37 ounces; also available in 220 and 240 cm sizes. Whether you're a beginner or a hardcore paddler, Carlisle has a paddle that's just right for you.
