Found standard on our new CAVPRO Kayak Paddle is the unique take-down ferrule, that features a reinforced nylon material that can be positioned as 60° left, right, or inline for better control. Grooves on the ferrule prevent the build-up of sand and debris, maintaining a tight, trouble-free fit. The shafts of the new CAVPRO Kayak Paddles are vinyl-wrapped black anodized aluminum and are ovalized at normal hand position.
