- WHY BEST MARINE AND OUTDOORS? - Our company goal and mission is to help people find inner peace and purpose through kayaking. Our featherlight paddle allows you to relax, breath and effortlessly glide through the water while connecting with nature and soaking in its surrounding beauty
- WHO IS OUR PADDLE FOR? - The number one piece of advice most advanced kayakers will offer you is a “carbon fiber paddle”. Aluminum and fiberglass paddles are cheaper, but they’re heavy!

Each paddle separates into two pieces for easy travel and storage, includes a 40 inch (100cm) ruler on the shaft, two drip rings which prevents water from running down the shaft, and a 5 ft leash that keeps your paddle attached to your kayak. We also included a hook retrieval notch and a small cutout on the left paddle blade to help remove lures from bad casts
