The KajakSport ferrule provides any feather and up to 10 cm of length adjustment. Working instantly both right- and left-handed, its simple design provides reliable, hassle-free operation – fully corrosion-free thanks to robust nylon construction.
Storing
We strongly recommend that you store your paddle with the ferrule in an open position, not closed. Storing it in the open position ensures the ferrule is not under continuous stress and it will lengthen the service life multiple times.
