Lendal 4-Piece Paddlok SystemThe Patented Paddlok System will change the way you think about kayak paddles. First, it is the most secure breakdown joint available. It was developed not to replace the wobbly 2 peice models, but rather to replace the rock-solid one piece paddles that predominate. That alone is revolutionary, but it's just the beginning. That's because the Paddlok System is a modular technology, allowing for interchangeable blades and shafts, so you can set up a paddle just the way you want it, and you are free to change your mind any time.
Sizing
For the sake of an effective, efficient stroke, you should use the shortest paddle that allows you to comfortably reach the water. As the diagram at the right shows, a long paddle results in significant portion of stroke energy being wasted trying to make the boat turn. The shorter paddle results in a much higher percentage of your energy going where it belongs-toward driving the boat. The result is more miles.
