Kayak Fishing Best New Paddle that can also Row, Grab & Fold
KAT: Kayak Angler Tool made of solid White Ash hardwood with Sikkens Cetol Marine waterproofing.
Benefits to paddler: stability, balance and relaxed hands. Unique surfing moves. Paddles out of strong winds. Paddles in the air half the time do not seem effecient. Swimming Animals have both fins in ALL the time. Stability on squirly eddy lines.
Foot powered Kayak or SUP gain stability in rough water. Your hands are not in the cold water as with hand paddles.
Row facing forward for the first time in history when used separately. Connect with included Knarled bolts & nuts and paddle. This needs repeating: Relaxed hands, a stable kayak and going straight. You will Love ArmFins.
NOTE ON FINISH:
I dip each end so the waterproofing goes deep into the fibers.
Then I try to get smooth finish with roller. Spraying would look smoother but ends wound not be as protected.
DO NOT SAND!
The maker Azko/Nobel says do not sand because it reduces the waterproofing. Irregularity? Lay a flat side of a plastic putty knife
on the "blib" and hit with a rubber hammer.
Do not scrape off! PUSH INTO THE WOOD!
KAT 45 ArmFins connected have the leverage of traditional Kayak Paddles.
ROWING Technique for Seperated ArmFins: 1. Lean Forward, plant both ArmFins, then Stroke pushing back using all the muscles in your body 2. Then lean forward with ArmFins just above the water back to the starting point of the stroke. 3. Stroke again. ROW FACING FORWARD FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. Relaxed Hands, Stable Boat, Going Straight is a Joyful Experience. A kayak fishing accessory. KAYAK ANGLER TOOL - FOLD THESE AND GRAB OR HOLD A FISH.
USED SEPARATLY: Low profile exploring. ArmFins AF 40 made of the same wood of as baseball bats. Same as are the longer KAT 45's. Kayak Angler Tool. LEAN FORWARD AND THEN ROW! BOTH BLADES.
Go where others cannot reach. Surfins and ArmFins Kayak Paddles are designed to be compact and functional. They are easy to carry in any size boat making them a perfect backup paddle or a low-profile paddle. ArmFins Perfect for exploring.
Clear solid hardwood is expensive and hard to find.
Stable. Lighter. Relaxed. Balanced. Patent # 10,308,337. ArmFins a Trademark.
You want a relaxed & stable paddle. Lightness counts. ArmFins with both blades in the water. Possibly weightless. Their design was inspired by my personal experiences and frustrations with traditional shafted kayak paddles. I, like thousands of Americans, suffer from arthritis in my hands. Holding a shafted zig-zag kayak paddle caused pain and discomfort. That's why I designed ArmFins ArmPaddles (tm). Now I can paddle without pain. Also I fixed the teeth of a paddler who injured them on the shaft of his paddle. Doc Holliday? In either mode: seperate or connected ArmFins would be safer for the smile.
I am a Veteran with a disibility that wants a better Kayak Paddle for Combat wounded & Disabled Veterans. They are the heroes not me.
ARMFINS is proud to support disabled veterans in recovery programs centered around paddling. We believe ArmFins Kayak Paddles or Surfins Hand Paddles could be extremely useful to individuals who may have limited upper body movement and need a more stable paddling experience.
ArmFins Kayak Paddles or Surfins Kayak Hand Paddles allow you to go into narrow, cramped places that wouldn't be possible with a traditional kayak paddle. Our classic kayak hand paddles - Surfins - have been used by Eric Soares of the Tsunami Rangers to explore sea caves in California. Surfins helped the Rangers access the toughest, tightest areas of the California sea cave system. ArmFins also can go places that shafted paddles can not. Ideal for Water Polo.

ArmFins or old school kayak paddles - use a HELMET WITH FACE MASK for all rough water or high wind kayaking. Proper personal flotation a must.
