So, I've been paddling on the Hudson for at least 15 years or so, for sure. Uh, we've been in business, um, selling

00:00:10

kayaks for probably close to 10. So, the the ring here, I guess they call it the

00:00:14

safety ring. Um, basically, it's made to keep the two sides together. Um, which will make your life easier on the water.

00:00:20

I mean, if you have it, you definitely would want to have it there just to make things easy. But, I mean, you you could

00:00:26

easily paddle with this without the ring for sure. So, like these three here, this is sort

00:00:31

of a good, better, best scenario as far as what we carry. So, our most basic here starts at about about 70 bucks or

00:00:37

so. Our mid-range paddle we have here is about 150. And then our our high-end carbon here is about 300.
