The Poudre’s ultra-light weight makes it a great multi-sport paddle for backpacking or bikepacking and the 4-piece breakdown design makes is easy to pack in a carry-on suitcase or backpack. The carbon-fiber shaft and reinforced fiberglass high angle blade is designed for those who want the lightest and most responsive paddle with moderate power.

Love it

"Saw the comment below about it being loose. All break down paddles have the tiniest bit of play in them, its how they are made and anyone paddling long enough knows this. This paddle is very high quality and really durable. It's lighter than my Werner and Aqua Bound paddles. Thanks Kokopelli! I've taken this all over the US to lakes and rivers and it's been amazing for the past year."

Great paddle!

"Love this paddle! It's so light, and I love the grip on it. Be sure to try and assemble the paddle a few different ways and then when you find the best way mark it with a sharpie. My first time one blade was really loose and there was a little gap and the other blade was really tight. But I flipped it around and it went together perfectly so I marked those sides to I know how to set it up right from now on."

Frank (5/5)

"Loose fittings. Blade had a noticeable wiggle. Did not feel premium but the cost was."

Daniel (1/5)

Cheaply made

"This product is lightweight and functions well however it is cheaply made and already showing signs of wear in areas and I have only been using them for 3 months. I don't expect this product to last long (like most of kokopelli's gear it would turn out). Not worth the money."

Lindsay K. (2/5)

Sloppy from the factory.

"Sloppy from the factory. Lots of play in every joint. Light weight and nice materials. Just bad quality control. Might keep as a spare and hope I never lose my primary paddle."

Jackson H. (2/5)

Fast Set-up and Fast in the water!

"Really well made oar (precision cut), carbon fiber and four piece design makes it light for packing and break-down."

Brian E. (5/5)

Good all around paddle

"Just did a month of packrafting in New Zealand, was durable, light and performed well. I also have a werner powerhouse which I would prefer if mainly doing whitewater, but for flatwater and class I/II and straightforward class III this is great."

JACE M. (5/5)

Light AF and can open

"Light AF and can open up so much terrain!!!"

Q&A

Think an easy Cl III is doable with this paddle? I think I need the R30 feather. My right hand is "glued" to the paddle as I flex and extend my R wrist for the left stroke. Please advice.
Hey Elaine, we jsut rated to it to class 2 because the blade is a little smaller than a true whitewater paddle. So you won't be able to get as much power out of it. So if you are paddling a river that is all class 2 with 1 class 3 you should be fine. We are just conservative with our ratings so people don't get in over their head and get the right gear for the right conditions.
Hello. Can this paddle be used unfeathered or does it snap together in the feathered position only? thanks.
Hey Daniel, The Poudre Paddle comes as R30 or L30 (right or left hand control 30 degrees offset) and just has the single setting. it cannot be set to a 0 degree feather angle.
