Using this Mission Taupo alloy kayak paddle is a breeze. Just grip it firmly with your hands on the covered hand grips, making sure your index finger sits on the raised control for better handling. Start paddling on one side of the kayak, then switch to the other to keep your kayak moving straight. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, rinse the paddle with fresh water to remove any salt, sand, or dirt. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the blade and shaft from deteriorating. Also, remember that this is an oversized item, so it can't be shipped to rural addresses, and shipping may take 10 - 14 days, so plan your purchases accordingly.
