Self Rescue Grips

The Werner Ikelos 2 Piece Bent Shaft is a carbon sea kayak paddle that's perfect for longer kayaking trips. It has a very high specification of construction and incorporates a two piece bent-paddle shaft and carbon foam cored blades. The shaft also has the ability to change the angle of feather to suit the prevailing winds.

The Whetman Equipment Drogue Chute is specifically crafted for sea kayakers as a rescue tool, aimed at managing the speed of kayaks in deep water affected by wind, waves, or surf. By creating underwater drag, it automatically aligns the kayak with the wind, ensuring that deploying it from the stern positions your back against the wind.

Given the critical importance of paddles, it's essential to take care of them during transport and storage. Composite shafts are particularly susceptible to damage, which could result in sudden failure while on the water. HF Equipment Paddle bags offer reliable protection and come in two sizes: one for single-piece paddles up to 205cm and the other for split touring paddles, measuring 135cm.

The Tootega Paddle Leash is a great piece of kayak safety kit. This leash will keep your paddle secured to your kayak so the paddle won't float away after a capsize. The Tootega paddle leash features a premium design that incorporates a coiled lanyard. The one end of the leash has a rotating swivel which also connects to a secure Velcro strap that secures around the paddle.
