ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a device for suspending a double-ended paddle which is used to propel a small water craft. The device can be readily disassembled and stored and has particular application to kayaks. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the paddle is supported by an elastic member attached at its midpoint. The elastic member depends from a freely swinging overhead boom which projects from a mast mounted to the water craft in front of the paddler. The paddle location and paddle lifting force can be adjusted.
