I took my new Oru Inlet Lake onto my pool after assembly just to test it out. Putting it together was fun and exciting for me and I think I ’ ll get better and better at it the more I practice! I can not wait to get this thing out on the lakes nearby! I ’ m thrilled!

5 Emily O.
Easy to assemble as advertised. I bought this for my 15 year old son. After watching the video, he assembled the kayak quickly and with ease.

[ I have loved the Oru paddle for over 3 years now. It ’s still in great shape and has been easy to store in the trunk of my car along with my Beach LT kayak!

5 Kathleen L.
I purchased my Inlet for my 70th birthday, the first time I put it together was in my gazebo. Piece of cake. My maiden paddle was not full of grace. Getting in I sat on the back of the seat, getting out I nearly broke my hip. I must have looked a aight. Fearing I might have to return it, I watched a few videos to see how I could be more successful. A couple of weeks ago I went on a 10 mile river paddle. It was wonderful. I had absolutely no problem getting in or out. My Inlet is the best. Light weight, easy to put together, easy to clean and store. I 'm so happy I did this for myself.

This paddle is an excellent paddle for me as an entry level kayaker. I especially like the ability to take the paddle apart for easy storage in the car. Does everything I need it to do and it looks mean.

Frequently Asked Questions For Straight Shaft Kayak Paddles

They provide a comfortable grip and allow for a more natural hand position, which can reduce fatigue during long paddling sessions. Additionally, they are often lighter than other paddle types, making them easier to maneuver.

Straight shaft kayak paddles are typically made from materials like aluminum, fiberglass, or carbon fiber. Aluminum paddles are durable and affordable, while fiberglass offers a good balance of weight and strength. Carbon fiber paddles are the lightest and most performance-oriented, but they tend to be more expensive.

Yes, straight shaft kayak paddles can be used for various types of kayaking, including recreational, touring, and even some whitewater applications. Their versatility makes them a popular choice among paddlers of all skill levels. However, the specific design and length of the paddle may be more suitable for certain styles of kayaking.

Choosing the right length for a straight shaft kayak paddle depends on your height, the width of your kayak, and your paddling style.
