Outback 2-Piece Fiberglass Kayak Paddle
The Accent Outback is the performance touring paddle in Accent's range: a translucent tri-axial fiberglass blade on a carbon shaft, 29.75 ounces, and available in nine lengths from 200 to 240 cm so you can actually get the size right.
About the Name
We list it as the Outback Carbon, and it is worth being precise: the shaft is carbon, the blade is tri-axial fiberglass. Accent's own name for it is simply the Outback. Nobody should buy this expecting carbon blades.
High-Angle, Which Is a Choice Not a Grade
A high-angle blade is short and wide, and you paddle it with your hands high and the blade entering close to the hull, near vertical. It takes a big bite and it is the stroke for acceleration and speed in a shorter or faster boat. A low-angle blade — long and narrow, hands low, shaft nearer horizontal — is less work per stroke and better for three unhurried hours. The Outback is firmly the first kind. If most of your paddling is a relaxed cruise, it is the wrong paddle however good it is.

Paddling the Accent Outback 2-Piece Fiberglass Kayak Paddle in Clearwater
Stop by our Clearwater shop at 160 N. Belcher Rd to sit in the Accent Outback 2-Piece Fiberglass Kayak Paddle, lift it and compare it with the other kayaks we carry — call first and we'll confirm it's on the floor. Osprey Bay Outdoors has been fitting paddlers to boats in Clearwater since 1998 — the right kayak depends on where you paddle, how you get it home and who is paddling it, and we'd rather talk that through than sell you the wrong one.

Questions we get about this kayak
Can I try the Accent Outback 2-Piece Fiberglass Kayak Paddle before I buy it?
Yes. We hold free Demo Days where you can paddle the boats we carry, and you can book a private demo if you would rather go at your own pace. See the dates on our Demo Day page, or call 727-524-9670.
Will the Accent Outback 2-Piece Fiberglass Kayak Paddle fit on my car?
Most kayaks this size travel on a roof rack with cradles or saddles. Our Rack Fit Guide looks up the right rack for your vehicle, and we install racks at the shop — bring the car and we'll sort it out.
Is the Accent Outback 2-Piece Fiberglass Kayak Paddle in stock?
Stock changes as boats sell, and colors vary. Use the Reserve button on this page or call 727-524-9670 and we'll confirm what's on the floor and set it aside for you. Reserving is not a purchase — you pay when you pick it up.
Do you ship kayaks?
Yes — we ship nationwide, or you can pick up free at our Clearwater shop and we'll help you load it.
Can you rig, repair or service it after I buy?
Yes. We do hull repairs, rigging and custom lighting, and we service the brands we sell, so the shop that fits your kayak is the same one that looks after it.
