The Prijon Balanced Wing Rudder has some very significant operational advantages over other kayak rudders in the market which are very useful to kayak users. The most significant advantage of this balanced rudder is that the breaking effect is eliminated during turns. Only a light pressure on the foot pedals is required. You can notice this common effect in other sea kayak rudders.
The Prijon Balanced Wing Rudder is a blade made of glass- filled nylon. The foil- shape and glass- filled nylon gives the blade a tough and efficient formation that helps to produce less drag that other usual kayak rudders produce.
This rudder blade lines up directly beneath the pivot point of the steering mechanism which leaves an off area on each side of the pivot point that helps to equalize steering forces.
This balanced rudder is for Prijon kayaks rudder-ready.
Modern Prijon kayaks come with a V Block so that you can install your rudder. This V Block has been included as a standard to all Prijon kayaks since 2008 and it came with the Balanced Wing Rudder before this year. You need to buy a V Block separately if your old Prijon Kayak doesn't come with that item.
One of the reasons that a V Block can be useful is, to place the kayak rudder on the deck when you paddle across shoal water, the other reason is that you can transport your kayak on a roof rack and this item will help you place it.
Another very helpful advantage that this kayak rudder has is that it helps to keep the rudder in the water, even through big and steep waves, because of its central position and its length.
The big deployment wheel that this kayak rudder has makes the raising and lowering of the rudder easier than the other kayak rudders, making this another advantage this kayak rudder has.
The parts which this rudder is made of is of the highest quality stainless steel. this includes cables, connectors and fittings. You can use custom reusable clamps to adjust the cables without crimping.
A lot of people talk about the durability that this kayak rudder has and its great design. These people have their kayaks with a Prijon Balanced Wing Rudder, even if they don't really need one, and they use it to balance the weather helm on long crossings.
All in all, 3 of the mayor banefits of using the new Balanced Wing Rudder are that it reduces drag, increases turning power over other designs, and has a long durability.
