The Brudder 7

Real talk! Nobody likes the arse end of their kayak flopping around in the waves and wind and spending all your day playing with your rudder handle when your supposed to be slaying fish and smashing beers. We’ve all seen stiffer blades but we really wanted to go above and beyond by solving the flex where they attach and also dropping the rudder deeper in the water. We redesigned the whole shaft to be made from billet aluminum and then machined some sweet water-slicing adaptors to hold the drop-down rudder blade.

The blade is made from aluminum and engineered with a spring to lock the rudder down when you need it. The spring has been beefed up from standard so you don’t have to worry about shaking the rudder down when launching and it now drops deeper into the water to give you the added turning and tracking performance you’ve desired.

The Brudder is excellent!

The Brudder is an awesome product. Very well made, super easy to install and performs better than the factory rudder on my Compass duo, especially when using the sail. Paired it with the BerlerPro Hobbie Compass Duo Steering handle. Very happy with both.

Amazing upgrade.

As others have said it turns on a dime, it’s solid and no more bent rudder after you install this. Speaking of installing, the whole process took less than 5 minutes. Fantastic Product.

Hey Brudder

The service and knowledge from Berkley pro is fantastic. You have piece of mind that you are buying a top quality product that wi work well. Marty uses his own gear he makes which reinforces the fact that it’s quality. I’ll definitely be buying more Berley pro products as a result
