Frequently Asked Questions:
Is The Day Tripper good for beginners?
Yes. Its asymmetric blades and lightweight, straight shaft make it easy to learn proper stroke technique with less fatigue.
Can I use it right- or left-handed?
Absolutely. The push-button ferrule lets you set blades inline or feathered at 60° for either hand control.
What warranty does it include?
Standard manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your proof of purchase and refer to the warranty card or contact support for claim details and timelines.
Can I use this paddle in saltwater?
Yes. Rinse the shaft, blades, and ferrule with fresh water after each saltwater session and dry before storage to prevent corrosion and mineral buildup.
How should I size this paddle for my kayak and height?
If you have a wider kayak or prefer a more relaxed, low-angle stroke, consider stepping up in length; for narrower boats or high-angle strokes, shorter lengths may feel snappier.
