Best Paddling Gear of 2024! | PaddleTV Awards

In this video, I'm honouring the top pieces of paddling gear that I tested in 2024. While there are other boats and pieces of paddling gear that deserve to win PaddleTV Awards, these are the products that I actually tested, which I believe deserve special mention for being so great.

How's the shoulder you heading back to canoecopia for 2025 I'm sure those paddles will be there...thanks for the info on that gear ....

[@PaddleTV]

Shoulder is … still attached at least. :) hope to head back to Canoecopia! That was great.

Love that deck bag! Wondering what apps you may use on your trips? I'm a big fan of Windfinder and Gaia !

[@PaddleTV]

I use Windy a lot. And now PaddleWays when I’m looking at trips in the US.

Fair warning! Black bears in the Adirondacks have learned to get into the blue barrels. You need metal or composite here. Testing has not been done on the Kevlar bags here yet.

Nice video. Thanks. I hesitate to change any gear I use and like. My PFD is getting old. I will be looking at NRS. They keep improving their stuff. I have been impressed and the have convinced me to start using their dry suits. I am going straight to the NRS website now to check out their pfds and hydration packs.

Thanks for your review-award episode. I really enjoy them. Hope you’re healing well.

That new paddle looks very cool Ken, also like the pfd but I think 6 is plenty for me lol don't know why but I keep buying them. Great video and informative 👍

I’m going to paddle in the cold season for the first time. Which must have clothes do you suggest? Thanks
