Paddles

Hey, buddy, be careful with those paddles!

Paddles are only used for paddling. Avoid splashing, mock sword fights and flicking rocks into the river.

Look first and be careful with paddles.

  • Pick-up paddles by the T-grip handle - not the middle of the shaft.


  • Pick-up paddles slowly - avoid everyone's teeth!


  • Keep one hand on the top of the handle for the best and safest grip.
