Imagine being able to confidently explore the open waters, feel the sun on your skin and enjoy a sense of freedom. For nearly 100 million Americans, this isn’t possible due to injuries, arthritis, and disabilities. That’s why Angle Oar is revolutionizing the way people with strength and mobility limitations experience the great outdoors. Our innovative paddling systems are designed with adjustable features that allow people with physical challenges to kayak independently. They open a world of possibilities for aging kayakers, accessible parks and camps, disabled veterans, physical therapists, and kayak rentals.

Overview

The mount-supported Versa Paddle fosters independence and freedom for kayakers with shoulder injuries, disabilities, arthritis, amputations and other mobility limitations. Versa delivers an energy efficient paddling experience by eliminating the weight of the paddle and requiring a smaller range of motion. It can be used straight or angled downward 25 degrees. Versa is used in adaptive paddling, parks and rec, veterans’ groups and rental programs, as well as individuals.
Using a gentle rotary movement of the forearms (much like pedaling a bicycle with your hands), you'll glide through the water with minimal effort. In the angled position, the smaller range of motion is ideal for people who have difficulty raising their arms, limited strength or a weak grip. And because it can be paddled with just one hand, Versa is ideal for people with one upper limb or who have paralysis on one (or both) side(s). Each shaft can be shortened or lengthened from 220 to 255 cm to compensate for the wind or the width of the kayak. The mount and shafts are also removable for easy storage. The system works many SOTs angling kayaks, and with most sit-ins and most sit-insides. It comes with a variety of mounts. Versa is ideal for people with strength or mobility limitations (e.g., paralysis, joint pain) or for anyone or who simply who wants to paddle farther with less effort.

Versa comes with one of three mounts for sit-on-tops kayaks. Our new Apex Mount uses innovative, extremely high-grip sticky cups that adhere to the deck of the kayak. The cups can be adjusted to accommodate many configurations (e.g., ridges, cupholders), and multiple support post lengths are available. The Apex can also be attached to two parallel tracks using t-nuts, giving it the ability to be moved backward or forward. The Twin Track Mount uses two RAM Tough-Tracks and a base mount to support the Versa. The tracks can be installed with rivets, well nuts or self-tapping threaded screws. Custom mounts are also available when the Apex or Twin Track Mounts don’t work. With all options, Versa be popped out of the mount with a gentle tug and used like a traditional paddle.

What Users Are Saying

I was out for about an hour (my first time with Versa after major shoulder surgery). It was just perfect.I could still feel the tendon in my shoulder slowly move back and forth, but there was no pain. Normally, if I lift my shoulder, I’ll hearing popping and experience some pain, but there wasn’t any of that.
