Itiwit KTP 500 2P R

This paddle is powerful and lightweight (900 g), making it ideal for enjoyable day trips with a kayak on the sea, in lakes, or in calm rivers. It is two-piece, with adjustable angles and lengths (210–220 cm). It combines lightness and stiffness through a carbon shaft and paddle blades made of plastic and carbon fibers.

The settings depend on the kayaker, the paddling environment, and the kayak model: A shorter paddle is suitable for whitewater and narrow kayaks (< 60 cm width). A short paddle should be 20 to 30 cm longer than the individual height. A longer paddle is ideal for touring and wider kayaks (> 60 cm width) and is also 20 to 30 cm longer than the individual height.

The construction features a 3K carbon shaft for low weight, an oval grip adapter for the right hand on the shaft, and paddle blades made of plastic with carbon fiber content for an ideal combination of flexibility and power transfer.

The shape is suitable for sea kayaks and has two silicone drip rings on the grip. The lower hand can be held horizontally or in a low-angle position, allowing for an energy-efficient technique and supporting endurance paddling. The upper hand can be held vertically or in a high-angle position, which is more strenuous and consumes more energy.

The settings depend on the kayaker, the paddling environment, and the kayak model: 0° to 45° for whitewater to make short, quick movements, and 45° to 90° for kayak touring to reduce wind resistance and paddle more efficiently.

When in doubt, follow your instincts. The maximum length is 220 cm, the minimum length is 210 cm, the disassembled size is 121 cm, the actual weight is 900 g, the weight marking is at 1 kg, and the shaft diameter is 30 mm. The area of the paddle blade is 612 cm².
