Nortik Tour Carbon 4-Part, King-Pin-Connection

The Tour Carbon 4-Part with King-Pin Connection from Nortik is a lightweight, packable paddle designed for kayak touring and Trekraft adventures. It breaks down into four sections for easy transport and storage, making it a handy companion when you need to stow gear or travel light.

Featuring a carbon shaft and carbon-reinforced nylon blades, this paddle strikes a balance between stiffness and durability. The shaft delivers efficient power transfer with less flex, while the blades resist impacts and abrasion along rocky shorelines. The King-Pin Connection lets you adjust the blade feather from 0 to 60 degrees in 15-degree steps, so you can fine-tune your setup for wind conditions or paddling style without tools.

Feather angle describes the twist between the two blades: at 0 degrees they sit flat in the same plane, while higher angles rotate one blade to shed wind and water on the off-stroke. The King-Pin system uses a simple pin to lock each section securely and hold your chosen angle in place. Weighing in at 815 grams, this paddle offers a lightweight feel that eases fatigue on longer journeys while remaining strong enough for regular use.
