Lightweight. Durable. Kid‑sized
The Carlisle Saber is a kid-specific recreational kayak paddle designed to make learning easy and fun. Smaller asymmetric polypropylene blades catch cleanly and release smoothly, while a reduced-diameter, lightweight aluminum shaft fits small hands for confident grip and control. The two-piece design breaks down for compact transport, and rubber drip rings help keep laps drier during practice sessions on lakes and gentle rivers.
Setup is simple: use the no‑fail push‑button ferrule to run blades inline or feathered at 60° for right‑ or left‑hand control. Built to be “kid‑proof,” the Saber balances durability with low weight so young paddlers tire less, build good technique, and enjoy more time on the water. If you want a beginner-friendly, dependable children’s kayak paddle that’s easy to handle and tough enough for daily use, the Saber is the smart pick.

Frequently Asked Questions
What warranty does the Carlisle Saber include?
It includes the standard manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your proof of purchase and refer to the included warranty card or contact support for coverage details and claim steps.
Is it suitable for saltwater use?
Yes. Rinse the blades, shaft, and ferrule with fresh water after every saltwater session and dry before storage to reduce corrosion and mineral buildup.
What age or size is this paddle best for?
The 190 cm length and small‑diameter shaft are designed for kids and smaller paddlers. It pairs well with youth sit‑on‑top or recreational kayaks and low‑angle paddling styles.
Does the Carlisle Saber float if dropped in the water?
The paddle is buoyant and will float long enough for easy retrieval. Always secure it with a leash in choppy conditions for extra safety.
Are the blades or ferrule user-replaceable?
The two-piece push-button ferrule is designed for simple assembly, but blades are not user-serviceable. For repairs beyond basic maintenance, contact the manufacturer or your retailer for authorized service under the standard warranty.
