Paddle Floats

The paddle float self-rescue is an effective way for paddlers of all skill levels to get back into a kayak after capsizing. The paddle float is attached to the paddle then to the kayak bungy or strap rescue system located behind the cockpit area. By connecting the paddle float to the paddle and then to the kayak an outrigger is formed providing stability on one side of the kayak for re-entry. Our hook and loop buckle system makes it easy to secure the paddle float to the paddle especially in cold-water conditions. Reflective piping increases visibly on the water in low light conditions. Paddle Floats come in two sizes: regular 8" wide or large 9" wide. Comes in two colours, red and yellow.

Stirrups

The stirrup is a piece of safety equipment designed to assist someone who has capsized. Used in combination with a paddle float or other assisted rescue technique, the stirrup is adjusted to attach around the coaming of the kayak forming a loop in the water. The stirrup acts like a step allowing a kayaker to use maximum leverage in re-entering the kayak. The adjustable length of the stirrup increases its versatility for meeting the needs of paddlers of different heights.
