Lightweight. Durable. Kid‑sized
The Carlisle Saber is a kid‑specific recreational kayak paddle that makes learning simple and fun. Lightweight yet tough, its smaller asymmetric polypropylene blades bite cleanly and release smoothly, while the reduced‑diameter aluminum shaft is ovalized, so small hands can grip with confidence and paddle longer with less fatigue. A no‑fail push‑button ferrule lets young paddlers run the blades inline or feathered at 60° for right‑ or left‑hand control in seconds.
Designed for kids and smaller paddlers who need a forgiving, confidence‑building paddle, the Saber balances durability with easy handling for lakes, bays, and gentle rivers. Rubber drip rings help keep laps drier, and the two‑piece design packs down for car‑trunk convenience. If you want a reliable, beginner‑friendly children’s kayak paddle that supports good technique and everyday adventures, the Carlisle Saber delivers value, comfort, and control.
