Expert Advice

Choose the TNP Rapa 707.4B primarily as a backup paddle for a kayak or as a compact solution for a packraft. For a standard kayak, a length of 200–210 cm is usually suitable, while for a wider boat or a taller paddler, 215–220 cm may be more practical. Before your trip, assemble the paddle at home, check that all four sections are securely connected, and store it in a bag so it’s quickly accessible in the boat.
