Twist-n-Stow Rudder Blade
Best steering upgrade for kayak owners seeking improved control and easy storage.
This oversized blade is the essential upgrade for turning a standard pedal kayak into a legitimate sailing vessel. By adding the necessary surface area to fight lateral wind drift, it sacrifices a bit of low-profile stealth for significantly better tracking and control when you’re actually under sail.
