Shop paddles and oars for kayaks, boats and recreational use on the water. This collection focuses on manual propulsion equipment, helping paddlers and boat users choose a suitable option for their craft, paddling style and setup.
Choosing a Paddle or Oar
Craft type: kayak paddles, boat oars and related equipment are designed for different seating positions and propulsion methods.
Length: the right length depends on the craft width, paddler position and intended use.
Construction: materials and blade design can affect weight, handling and feel on the water.
Compatibility: check dimensions, shaft or fitting details and any mounting requirements before purchase.
For kayaks, paddle choice should also take into account hull width, seating position and whether the kayak is intended mainly for recreation or fishing.
The current assortment includes double-bladed kayak paddles and single-bladed stand-up paddleboard (SUP) paddles. No separate boat oar is confirmed among the currently listed products. Check product availability before planning your setup.
Kayak touring: ACTIVE Feelfree Touring Alloy 2PC is a fixed-length 230 cm two-piece paddle; a practical reference for touring kayaks when that length suits the boat and paddler.
Kayak fishing: ACTIVE Feelfree Camo Angler's Fiberglass is listed at 250 cm with a built-in measuring tape. ACTIVE NuCanoe #8010 aluminum and #8150 fiberglass paddles both adjust from 250 to 270 cm for fishing-kayak setups; confirm craft compatibility.
SUP travel and entry-level use: ACTIVE Jobe Aluminium and Fusion Stick are three-piece paddles adjusting from 170 to 210 cm. Fusion Stick is listed at 960 g with a 10% carbon / 90% fiberglass shaft, whereas the Aluminium model uses an aluminum shaft.
Lighter SUP performance: ACTIVE Jobe Stream Carbon 100 adjusts from 180 to 220 cm and is listed at 610 g; Stream Carbon 40 shares the 180–220 cm range and is listed at 780 g. Choose by weight, construction and budget, not carbon percentage alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a SUP paddle replace a kayak paddle?
Not as a direct equivalent: SUP paddles have one blade and a T-grip for stand-up paddling, while standard kayak paddles have two blades for seated use.
Does a longer paddle always work better for a fishing kayak?
No. Kayak width, seat height, technique and paddler dimensions all affect a comfortable shaft length. Adjustable 250–270 cm models offer flexibility when suitable for the craft.
