The Everyday Paddle (Bundle Add-On)

Every board needs a paddle. This is the one that shrugs off the rocks.The Everyday's blade is fiber-reinforced nylon polymer, and it's close to indestructible. Push off rocks, brace on the bottom, hand it to the kids, let a beginner learn on it. Things we'd tell you not to do with our carbon Tough Blade are no problem for this blade. The toughness sits where the paddle meets rock, so you're not stuck swinging a heavy plastic-and-aluminum club to get it.Because the blade carries the abuse, we kept the rest of the paddle light and high-performance: a carbon-and-fiberglass hybrid shaft and a genuine composite fiberglass handle, not the plastic and aluminum most tough paddles settle for. Give the shaft and handle the normal care any good paddle wants and beat up the blade freely. You also get the same sealed lever-lock adjustment as our carbon Tough Blade, with an alignment slot so it lines up straight every set, and it floats, which a surprising number of nylon paddles don't.It packs into three pieces, drops into your board bag, and adjusts from 65 to 83 inches, so it fits everyone who rides your board. If you end up paddling hard and often, you'll want to step up to a Tough Blade Carbon or Ruckus later. To get on the water with a paddle that laughs off the rocks, this is the easy one to add.
