CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

Jonas S.

Ontario

Meg and the folks at Angle Oar make a fantastic product, and they back it up with amazing service. I will say, if you need a Versa Paddle to even use a kayak, going on rough waters with rapids is probably not the best idea. On a calm lake though, it works really well and let's me once again do a hobby I loved so much before my arm amputation.

Amputee

Great tool for kayaking. This kayak paddle and mount allowed me to get out on the lake and enjoy paddling with predominantly one hand. It is a great tool!

Use of One Arm

Reason for Using

Great system! After my wife had a massive stroke a year ago with left side paralysis, we never expected her to kayak again. We were thrilled with how easy it was to use the Versa Paddle System for Sit-Inside Kayaks. New freedom!!

I’m waiting for a shoulder replacement after a severe shoulder dislocation. I researched this product and got it set up on my kayak. I love it! I can now get back out on the water.

Adaptive Kayaking Program

Reason for Using

Joanne Rose, 83

California

I paddled four times as long as last time, for about an hour in total. (My) arm and shoulder still hurt, but (I) could paddle for a much longer period. I liked that it was very stable, and it felt like I could just rest my arms on the paddle.

(Unrepaired) Broken Humerus

Reason for Using

John Laches

Kansas

I am still getting used to using the Gamut system in regards to proper paddle stroke and positioning, but overall I am pleased with it. I expect that over time with more experience it will become second nature to me. I see the benefit and have not had any issues with my left arthritic shoulder which is why I bought this in the first place….so that is a win! Thanks for coaching me through this process.

Arthritis, Rotator Cuff Repair

Reason for Using

Rusty Haines

Wisconsin

The paddling experience is great! I am still experimenting with the paddle straight vs. angled to find the best fit to achieve easy, straight tracking. I'm getting there. Big test coming up the end of the month when I take my annual Wisconsin River excursion. Overall I could not be more satisfied! Thank you for everything you do to help more people to get on the water.

One Armed Paddler

Reason for Using

Rachael Cooper

Tennessee

The Versa helps me protect my upper body and neck and keeps me from becoming fatigued quickly, and not having to manage the weight of a paddle means endurance is less of an issue. We paddled for 3 or 4 hours... (I was) tired and a little stiff, but no flare. That’s a LOT for me in one day. I’m so proud!

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Reason for Using

Tressa Sarcia

I had a stroke three and half years ago. This has been the first time (I've used) Angle Oar!!! I was crying because it who it is (who I am) supposed to be. I always was a kayaker, and I will be now!!!!

Reason for Using

Even if I wasn't disabled I'd like this set up.

Lateral Primary Sclerosis

Reason for Using

Dave Phillips

Canada

After a second spinal surgery and 6+ months recovery time, I just this week was able to install and use my versa paddle. It's awesome! :) It's clear that I would not be able to kayak without it, and I am very thankful to you for creating such a product.

Spinal Surgery

Reason for Using

Tracy J., Veteran

Oklahoma

As far as the Angle Oar, I love it. I’m a disabled veteran and only have limited use of my right shoulder and arm. I never thought I’d be able to use a kayak. That thing has really made a difference. I love it, and I really appreciate that you guys created something so amazing!

Arm/Shoulder Weakness

Reason for Using

John Stewart, 77

Montana

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

Very pleased with my Versa paddle rig, thanks so much for getting me back on the water. Incredible piece of engineering for this one armed paddler.

Amputee

Reason for Using

Rebecca Mavencamp

Minnesota

I want to thank you and this company for creating this product. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and the last two years have been miserable with declining health. My hands and shoulders have been a big problem with dislocations and breaking bones lately. I thought I would have to give up kayaking.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Reason for Using

Mike Ellis

I'm glad I came across your website because I was researching for a while and found a few competitive products, but nothing looked nearly as comprehensive or compatible with many boats. Thanks for making products like this. I work at Shepherd Center which is a rehab center for spinal cord and brain injuries and stuff like this is just priceless for them.

SCI, TBI Rehab

Reason for Using

Cynthia Breen

Utah

I am so impressed with the Gamut Paddle Holder. I have left side hemiplegia after surviving a brain bleed six years ago. I was so relieved that it worked as well as I had hoped. It is making getting out on the water fun again. Meg is wonderful with personal and prompt assistance. I recommend Angle Oar to anyone.

It’s been great. Great. Great. That’s all I can say.

Stroke

Reason for Using

Leon D.

Hawaii

The Gamut works well for me. It's a more relaxing paddle experience, and I can paddle farther. I do not have to grip the handle much since it's "resting" on the device. When I'm done yakking, my shoulders do not feel as much pain as I used to.
