Using a Kayak Paddle in a Solo Canoe
Q.
Can you use a double kayak paddle instead of a canoe paddle with this canoe. I am an avid kayaker,
but recently I have started camping and I need the room a canoe will afford.
But....................I like my double paddle.
Thanks
Margaret
A. Margaret-
We have lots of Tranq owners who use a kayak paddle and the canoe flies down the lake. You want
the paddle as long as possible though because a shorter paddle requires you to lift it higher than a
low-slung kayak and you tend to get wetter. We usually set up this canoe with a 250 cm paddle which
is as long as we can find and this works well. Try your short one before a trip and see how it
goes; you'll know in 5 minutes if it works for you. You can always get a longer paddle at a later
time.
Have a great day!
