Carlisle magic mystic paddle rugged dependability, proven performance the Carlisle magic mystic is a durable and efficient introductory kayak paddle. The balanced asymmetrical blades reduce torque and minimize wrist fatigue. Slight spooning in the blades grabs more water, providing the power needed when paddling a typical 10-to 12-foot recreational kayak. The lightweight tempered aluminum shaft features a bend where hands normally grip, minimizing the wrist flex during the forward stroke; with rubber drip rings to keep excess water from running down the paddle shaft and into your lap. Built to keep going the first Carlisle Paddles were created more than 30 years ago with a local guide and livery companies in mind. Our paddles were built to deliver the core strength and durability that expert guides need. Today, Carlisle offers outstanding recreational kayak paddles and oars in a variety of materials and designs-each suiting the needs and conditions individual paddlers face.
