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.
Thank You, Tal Liveoak
PS On lunch breaks keep ArmFins out of the sun. Keep in the shade or in the cool water.
