Now that play boats resemble inflated inner tubes more than kayaks, the traditional method of paddling just won’t cut it. Power Pawz Hand Paddles let you reach for the next stroke while one hand is still in the water, and they give you two contact points in the water for more control. Power Pawz are also small enough to stash in your boat for small sections of river or a backup for broken paddles—toss a couple in the life raft, too.
