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 programs, 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, have limited strength or have 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 with most sit-ins and many SOTs and 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 two mounts for sit-inside kayaks. The Hinged Mount is recommended as it provides the most stability. It attaches to most sit-in kayaks in about 15 and requires a few, small drill holes in the cockpit coaming. When paired with the Hinged Mount, Versa can be moved forward or backward on the mount, helping you achieve the ideal distance between your torso and the paddle. Another option is the Apex Mount, which uses innovative, extremely high-grip sticky cups that adhere to the floor of the kayak. The cups can be moved to accommodate most floor configurations (e.g., ridges). With either option, Versa be popped out of the mount with a gentle tug and used like a traditional paddle.

What Users Are Saying

As far as the Angle Oar, I love it. I’m a disabled veteran and only have limited use of my right shoulder and arm. I never thought I’d be able to use a kayak. That thing has really made a difference. I love it, and I really appreciate that you guys created something so amazing!

My shoulder problem was preventing me from kayaking. I tried out this Versa paddle and couldn't believe the difference. I went on a three-hour outing and had no pain whatsoever.

Angle Oar was very helpful in quickly sending out additional parts to adapt mounting, which would otherwise not fit the narrow cockpit. Great company to deal with.
