7 Best Kayak Paddles 

Paddling Magazine, 2020

HOW IT WORKS

The Gamut Paddle Holder System comes with a patented base mount that attaches to a variety of kayaks and can be easily removed when not in use. The system also includes a support post, an omni-directional pivoting head, and the Gamut Paddle Holder which grips your paddle between two RotoGrip rollers while you paddle. The result is a fluid, energy-efficient experience that requires less effort, strength and mobility. Simply choose the mount that works best for your sit-inside, sit-on-top or SUP. Add a set of RotoGrip SnapNStraps for even more paddle security. 

CONQUER ARTHRITIS,
ACHES & PAINS

Stiff joints, arthritis and the aches and pains of aging lead some paddlers to conclude they have to give up kayaking. But by simply adding a paddle support like the Gamut, you can continue to do the activity you love. Dozens of our customers are long-time paddlers of "a certain age" who've discovered they don't have to give up paddling after all. See the range of reasons and health conditions that have led kayakers to start using the Gamut Paddle Holder. 

USE YOUR FAVORITE PADDLE

If you're a long-time paddler, chances are you've shelled out a pretty penny for your paddle. Now you can still reduce stress on your shoulders, back, torso and joints but not have to give up your baby!  Gamut accepts both round and oval shafts. Use it on windy days or when you need to give your muscles and joints a rest, or take it out of the mount and paddle regularly when you want! Paddles of at least 240 cm in length or longer are recommended.  

 

PRESERVE & PROTECT 
SHOULDER FUNCTION

For paddlers who've had shoulder surgery and rotator cuff problems, or who have paralysis or a missing limb, preserving remaining shoulder function and range of motion (ROM) is imperative. You don't want to do any repetitive movement that compromises that function, such as raising your arm too high. When you use the Gamut Paddle Holder you're not bearing the weight of the paddle, so you're putting far less strain on your joints. You also have the option of shifting more energy into the stroke on your dominant side so that you're putting less strain on your compromised side.

HANDS-FREE FISHING

The Gamut kayak paddle holder does something no other kayak paddle holder can, it keeps your paddle securely and conveniently in place as you bait, cast or reel in a fish.  No more paddle leashes, wet laps, expensive pedal kayaks or balancing acts, and you can use your favorite angling paddle. Simply “let go” and your paddle stays put-- there's no worrying it might fall in the water. Paddle backwards just as easily. 

Gamut Sitting on SUP

SIT ON YOUR SUP

Stand up paddleboarding can be hard on your shoulders, back, legs and core, and sometimes you want to take a break and sit down. The Gamut Paddle Holder supports the weight of your paddle while you paddle in a seated position. We designed it to give paddleboarders choices during their outings and to provide an option for people who are unable to stand.

Amputation
 

We asked prospective and actual customers why they use the Gamut Paddle Holder. Their answers ranged from shoulder injuries, fibromyalgia and partial or full paralysis to arthritis, stiffness and absence of a hand or limb.  Many were post-surgical and thought they would have to give up kayaking.

FIND YOUR MOUNT

Gamut can be used with a number of our mounts. Whenever possible, though, we recommend using our Hinged Mount for sit-inside kayaks as this mount provides 5-star stability. We also offer the Apex, Twin Tracks and Custom Mounts, however the stability rating diminishes slightly with these mounts due to absence of secondary stability arms. See our mounts page for the features, stability rating and fit specifications

What Paddlers Are Saying

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

"Because of torn tendons in my biceps, after a couple of minutes of paddling, my shoulder starts to kill me. Now I use...Gamut to support the paddle so I can continue paddling and fishing with my wife."
