Shipping Damage Free Guarantee
Accessory Shipments
Paddles, PFDs, dry bags, helmets, skirts, motors, rod holders, and accessories ship UPS, FedEx, or USPS Ground.
It lands on your doorstep like any other package. We email tracking the day it leaves our shop.
Order gear on the same order as a kayak we're hand delivering or shipping, and it comes with the kayak.
Kayak Shipments
We deliver kayaks two ways. Inside our delivery area, we bring your boat to you ourselves. Everywhere else, it ships LTL freight with a carrier that reports a 99.9% damage-free delivery rate. We'll tell you which one you're getting once your order is placed along with more details.
If we hand deliver it
Nothing to inspect, nothing to sign at the curb. We're the ones unloading your kayak, so if anything is wrong, tell us right there and we'll take care of it. We will call before hand for a meetup place.
If it ships LTL freight
Look the boat over before you sign the delivery receipt. If you see damage, write it on the receipt. That one step is what protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours of delivery. We also will email you more details on this process once the order is placed.
What we cover
Structural damage. Anything that compromises the hull or would void the manufacturer's warranty, confirmed with the vendor. We make it right.
Cosmetic damage. Light scratches or minor surface dents that don't affect performance or structure. We send a repair kit when one is available. If you'd rather have a replacement, a 20% restocking fee applies plus full shipping back to us.

The Badfish Dingbat Tube Paddle is a single-blade hand paddle built for river tubing. Badfish designed it alongside the Dingy river tube, because a tube you can actually steer is a different day out than a tube you ride wherever the current puts you.
One blade, held in one hand, is enough to pick a line. Move away from the strainer, catch the eddy you wanted, line up the tongue instead of hitting the rock beside it. That is the whole argument for carrying one.
It works with the Dingy, the Donut, or any river tube.
Specifications
- Type: Single-blade tube paddle
- Blades: 1
- Made For: Badfish Dingy and Donut river tubes
- Also Fits: Any river tube
Key Features
- Steering, Not Drifting: Enough blade to pick your line instead of taking the one the river gives you.
- One-Handed: Compact single-blade design you can hold all day.
- Built With the Dingy: Designed alongside the tube rather than adapted to it.
- Universal: Works on any river tube, not just Badfish.
Badfish Dingbat Tube Paddle Questions, Answered
Single Dingbat or Double Dingbat?
The single is one blade in one hand, simple and easy to stow. The Double Dingbat has a blade on each end, kayak style, and gives you more control and more power for moving across current. Take the single for lazy floats, the double if the river actually moves.
Do I really need a paddle on a tube?
You do not need one to float. You need one to choose where you float. Steering away from a strainer, catching a takeout eddy, or crossing to river left is difficult with your hands and simple with a blade.
Will it work with tubes other than Badfish?
Yes. There is nothing tube-specific about it. It was designed with the Dingy and Donut in mind but works on any river tube.
Does it float?
Treat any loose item on a river as something you can lose. If you are running anything with current, tether it or accept that a swim may cost you the paddle.
Can kids use it?
It is a short single-blade paddle, so it suits smaller paddlers better than a full-length one. Whether a child should be on that stretch of river at all is the question worth asking first, and everyone in a tube belongs in a life jacket.
