YakGear Assault Hand Paddle Hi-Viz Orange | 06-0014
YakGear Assault Hand Paddle Hi-Viz Orange | 06-0014 — Product description
The YakGear Assault Hand Paddle is a compact 23-inch backup paddle you stow within arm's reach and forget about until the day you actually need it. Hi-Viz Orange, foam grip, and short enough to slide under deck rigging.
Every kayak angler eventually ends up in a spot where the main paddle isn't an option. Maybe it floated off. Maybe you set it down to fight a fish and a gust pushed you into the reeds. That's exactly what the YakGear Assault Hand Paddle is for. It's a single hand paddle you stow within arm's reach and forget about until the day you need it.
It's 23 inches of non-adjustable, one-piece plastic with a foam hand grip that stays comfortable even with wet hands. The Hi-Viz Orange color isn't just for looks. When it's clipped to your deck rigging or floating next to the boat, that orange is easy to spot against the water. And if you ever need to flag down another boater, a bright paddle held overhead reads as a signal.
This is a backup, not your everyday propulsion. Think of it the way you think of a spare bilge pump or a whistle. You hope it stays dry in the hatch all season. But when the wind kicks up and you need to claw your way back to the ramp, a hand paddle gives you real control in tight quarters where a full-length paddle is just awkward.
It works on a canoe, a small dinghy, or a paddleboard too. Anywhere you want a stowable emergency paddle that won't eat half your storage. Slide it under a bungee, drop it in a milk crate, or tuck it in the tankwell. The 23-inch length is short enough to stash and long enough to actually move water. And there's nothing to assemble or unfold, so you just grab it and go, which is the whole point when a day on the water turns sideways in a hurry.
One paddle ships per order. If you want a matched pair for two-handed paddling, order two. For most anglers, though, one in the boat is exactly the insurance you're after.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a full-size paddle or a backup?
It's a backup. At 23 inches it's a hand paddle meant for emergency use, not everyday propulsion. It gives you control in tight quarters and gets you back to the ramp if your main paddle is gone.
Does one order include one paddle or a pair?
One order is a single hand paddle. If you want a matched pair for two-handed paddling, order two.
What's it made of?
A plastic blade and shaft with a foam hand grip. The plastic handles saltwater and sun without complaint, and the foam grip stays comfortable with wet hands.
Can I adjust the length?
No, it's a fixed 23-inch, non-adjustable design. That one-piece build is part of what keeps it simple and reliable as a backup.
Will it work on a canoe or paddleboard?
Yes. It works on kayaks, canoes, small dinghies, and paddleboards. Anywhere you want a stowable emergency paddle that won't take up much room.
Why Hi-Viz Orange?
Visibility. The bright orange is easy to spot if it's clipped to your deck or floating next to the boat, and a bright paddle held overhead reads as a signal to other boaters.
