Carlisle Magic Plus Paddle

The Carlisle Magic Plus kayak paddle has an efficient and powerful blade design for touring; or for paddlers who spend a lot of time on the water and want a lighter paddle. The balanced asymmetrical blades reduce torque and minimize wrist fatigue. Slight spooning in the blades grab more water, providing the power needed when paddling a typical 10-to 12-foot recreational kayak. The wound fiberglass shaft provides a sweet compromise between the stiffness needed for a strong paddle stroke and the flex needed to reduce stress on your joints.

Built to Keep Going

The first Carlisle paddles were created more than 30 years ago with 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.

Sturdy Construction

The Magic Plus paddle is built to last, with a wrapped fiberglass shaft and durable glass-filled polypropylene blades. Balanced, efficient, and versatile this paddle performs well in both open waters and near rocky shorelines.

Long-Distance Efficiency

The well-balanced asymmetrical blade design on the Magic Plus reduces torque and flutter so you'll feel less wrist fatigue and can stay on the water longer. The slightly spooned shape moves more water to efficiently propel your kayak through the water.

Compared to aluminum, the fiberglass shaft has a warm touch in cool weather and is cool when it's hot.

Easy Break Down

When you're done for the day, the Magic Plus breaks down into two pieces for easy transport and storage. You can also use the no-fail push-button take down to feather the blades at 60 degrees for right- or left-handed control.

A Length for Every Style

The Magic Plus comes in four lengths - 220, 230, 240, and 250 centimeters. Find the perfect match based on your torso length and the width of your boat.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it float
Answer:	The tire I received was a Continental Contact Plus Travel. It has been described as being resistant to punctures. I'm hoping it lives up to its' billing. My last tire picked up at least four assorted bits of thorns and metal shards. It looks pretty substantial.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it float
Answer:	The connection for the two halves is very tight, and it should float for a very short time, but I'd still get a tether.
Question:	Do these paddles float
Answer:	Yes they float just fine. I tested mine in the swimming pool first. Great paddles. Probably best value for an amazing product out there.
Question:	Do paddles come apart for storage
Answer:	Yes paddle comes apart and has three different locking positions.
Question:	what size paddle should i buy
Answer:	I'd recommending reading through a variety of tips from the many sources available on the internet. A lot of factors go into "correct" length, including your body configuration, the width of your kayak, the type of paddling you do, and on and on. For instance, I prefer a short paddle (220 cm) with big blades for moving water, but need to use a longer (230 cm) paddle for flat water. If I went to a 240 cm paddle for flat water, tracking would be a problem.This is indeed a non-answer-sorry about that-so I'll just say that my flat-water preference would be to error on the long side, and for moving water, error on the short side.And by the way, my Magic Plus is great.

User questions & answers

Question:	do these come with padded shaft
Answer:	The shaft is not padded.
Question:	Is this feathered or not feathered? Or can it be adjusted either way
Answer:	It can be adjusted either way.
Question:	do these break down to put in a backpack
Answer:	These break down into 2 pieces where each piece would be about 46 to 50 inches. So no, they wouldn't fit in a backpack. There are other paddle models though thatdo break down into 4 pieces (AirKayaks.com has them). What I like about these paddles is that, for an inexpensive model, the connections are very good with no wobble.

User questions & answers

Question:	I need a 240cm paddle, would that be size 87 or
Answer:	Welp 240cm is actually 94”
Question:	How sturdy/flexible are the plastic blades
Answer:	I have used this every weekend, 3 seasons, for 2 years. It is still in new condition. I use it on lakes. The blades are non-flexible. If you are going to use this on rivers with obstacles the results may be different.
Question:	any one know the true weight (not shipping weight) for 87in. paddle
Answer:	I bought the 96" version, and it weighs 2.6 pounds, so the 87" paddle would be slightly less. I find longer one has better reach for easier paddling,. is light and easy to handle. Incidentally, the weight of mine includes the weight of 20" long neoprene grip cushions on each half of the paddle - that definitely prevents getting blisters between thumb and forefinger! Well worth the slight extra investment and weight.
Question:	Do these work well in snow
Answer:	If you're asking about Snowyaking, I can't answer that as I haven't been brave/stupid enough to try that. But, I'm not sure the quality required for that, if you expect them to end up bent to hell at some point, because I can guarantee that would happen in a crash at some point.If you're talking about taking it down a snowy/icy river or on a lake, I'd imagine they work just as well as you could reasonably expect. For the price I love these and the feel of them in regular water, and they feel highly durable. But not as durable as your high dollar paddles, nor will they cut as well. But they far outperform the price. Sorry I couldn't provide an experienced answer to your specific situation.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can these be feathered in both directions for those of us who use left hand control
Answer:	yes
Question:	does this paddle separate into two pieces
Answer:	Easily snaps apart. Solid fiberglass construction. Weight equal to more expensive $300 paddles
Question:	I like to stay color co-ordinated! Would it be possible to paint this paddle to black or lime green to match my planned kayak purchase
Answer:	I don't see why not. I painted lines around the handles to distinquish my paddles from my wife's and there has been not trouble with that.
Question:	I am 5'4" what length should I get
Answer:	220 should be fine. My wife is 5'1 and I'm 5'11 and the 220 works for us both. Basically don't over think it. That's my tendency :-)
