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.

Quick Answers

Common Questions About This One.

At the bundle price it's the easy way to make sure your board shows up ready to paddle. It's a genuinely good nylon paddle, not a throwaway, so it isn't a placeholder you'll want to replace right away. If you later decide you want maximum efficiency, the carbon Tough Blade and Ruckus are there when you're ready.

Yes, that's what the blade is built for. The fiber-reinforced nylon won't chip or crack from rock strikes, shallow-water bracing, or the abuse a beginner or a kid puts a paddle through, all things we'd tell you not to do with our carbon Tough Blade. Just remember the toughness is the blade's job. The shaft and handle are lightweight performance parts, so give them the same care as any good paddle rather than tossing the whole thing in a truck bed.

The adjustment collar is held by two small machine screws, the same size we use on our carbon Tough Blade. Every so often, check that they're snug. If you ever find one has backed out, just tighten it back down until it's secure, and a drop of semi-permanent thread glue like Loctite keeps it that way. If you ever lose one, they're easy to replace: 4mm x 10mm stainless steel machine screws, available at any hardware store. A small head is ideal, a larger standard head works too, and a length up to 12mm is fine if 10mm isn't handy. Text the Crew at (208) 408-1997 if you need a hand.
