Soul Micron: A High-Performance Paddle for Kids

Soul Micron This is an advanced children's carbon composite paddle for young paddlers who are ready to transition from the Gremlin children's model to lighter and more high-performance equipment. It is based on the proven blade shape of Soul Waterman’s adult paddles, which has been scaled down to meet the needs of children and junior kayakers.

The paddle combines a lightweight design, a durable composite construction, an adjustable length, and the ability to adjust the blade angle. This allows young paddlers to adapt the paddle to their height, the width of their boat, and their evolving paddling technique.

A handle and grips designed for children's hands

The Soul Micron pole has a small diameter 17.5 mm, which makes it easier for children to hold and control. The grip section increases the diameter to 28 mm, so your hands have more secure and comfortable support in specific places when shifting gears, resting, or riding for longer periods.

• 17.5 mm pole: A smaller diameter designed for a comfortable grip in children's hands.
• 28 mm grips: An enlarged diameter in the grip area for a more secure hold on the paddle.
• Natural flexibility: A shorter shaft provides a natural, flexible feel when paddling.
• Comfort on Long Drives: The ergonomic design helps reduce unnecessary hand fatigue.

A slightly buoyant blade for support in aerated water

Micron uses a slightly up-keeled blade that provides better support in aerated and turbulent water. This design makes it easier to paddle during bracing, stabilization strokes, and general paddling in a river current.

• A slightly upward-curving blade: It supports the paddle in the water and helps stabilize the boat.
• Support in aerated water: Useful when riding in waves, currents, and turbulent areas.
• Easier to use: It helps young riders improve their use of support and balance.
• Scaled-down adult form: Performance features tailored for children's use.

Lightweight and durable carbon composite construction

Adjustable sheet length and angle

Soul Micron is available in two adjustable lengths: 160-170 cm a170-180 cm. In addition to the length, the angle of the blades—that is, the feather—can also be adjusted according to the young kayaker’s personal preference and technique.

• 160–170 cm: A shorter adjustable range for smaller children or a shorter paddle.
• 170–180 cm: A wider range of adjustment for growing juniors or taller riders.
• Blade Angle Settings: The ability to customize the feather to suit individual preferences.
• A paddle that grows with your child: Adjusting the length extends the product's usability as the young paddler grows.

Vibrant colors for improved safety and visibility

The orange-and-yellow color scheme makes the paddle more visible on the water. It’s practical for playing in the waves, group paddling, and even if a child lets go of the paddle—the paddle is easier to find in the water, and the colors can also serve as a simple means of communication.

• Bright orange and yellow: High-contrast design for good visibility on the river.
• Easier to find: This comes in handy if your paddle falls into the current or a backwater.
