Kayak Paddle 215cm – glass 2 piece straight – Moray

Description

Moray Range  Glass shaft

Extremely durable light kayak paddle which is ideally suited to sit on top, sit in and fishing kayaks. The asymmetric blade design pulls smoothly through the water and makes it the ideal recreation paddle for beginners and intermediate paddlers.

The Poly Propylene blade material has been specially selected to give a slight element of flexibility to the blade for two reasons – it offers increased durability in service and has a lower overall environmental impact over ABS type blades. This, combined with glass reinforced fibre shaft makes it extremely light – reducing paddling fatigue.

The Moray glass shaft is a great value super lightweight paddle for individual paddlers looking to paddle for a longer period of time without tiring as quickly than if they were using an aluminium shaft paddle

Sizing  Moray range

Activity class  Recreational paddling

RUK Sport sizes using your torso height – this is a better way than overall height of determining which paddle length will work best for you – some people carry their height in their legs, others in their torso – this method more accurately simulates the seated position you take when in your kayak

To measure your torso height, simply sit in a flat seated chair and measure from between your legs to the tip of your nose in a straight line.

Your torso height:          Paddle:                                             Shaft Options:

22″-26″/ 56cm-66cm    Moray 190cm 2 piece                    Aluminium

26″-32″/ 66cm-81cm    Moray 215cm 1 piece & 2 piece   Aluminium / Glass

32″ / 81cm +                   Moray 230cm 4 piece                   Aluminium

Please note: you should also consider the beam / width of the kayak you are going to paddle – wider kayaks – e.g. 65cm + may require you to select a slightly longer paddle for more comfortable paddling

Why we use PP Poly Propylene in our recreational kayak paddle range

We have chosen PP (poly propylene) for our recreational kayak paddle blades for two simple reasons:

1. FlexDurability  Our PP blades blend great rigidity with an element of flexibility which makes them much more durable than traditional ABS type plastic blades. This means in day in, day out usage they are more likely to shrug off drops and scrapes which adds up to a longer lasting paddle.
2. Environmental  all of RUK Sports blade materials are selected based on their total life environmental impact. We typically select PP for our core product blades as this is more energy efficient than ABS to manufacture.

From the point of view of recyclability PP is easy to recycle and widely recycled – so it can live another life when you have finished using it.

RUK Sport selected PP over ABS due to this better rate of recycling and its durability to chemical degradation over its service life.

With regard to Glass filled / Reinforced PP, RUK Sport eliminated this product from its selection as its composite nature makes it very difficult to recycle and due to this it is normally incinerated or landfilled at the end of its life.

Polypropylene – flexibility

Energy efficiency: PP manufacturing processes are generally more energy-efficient than ABS production

Recyclability: PP is highly recyclable and has a better rate than that of ABS. PP is less likely to release harmful substances during disposal, making it a better choice in terms of end-of-life impact

Durability: PP’s durability and resistance to chemical degradation contribute to its longer lifespan, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
