This is directed to systems, processes, machines, and other means that enable a paddler to turn a Kayak, SUP, or other paddle craft or maintain a straight tracking course, as well as engage and/or disengage the rudder blade with the water, without the paddler using their feet, foot pedals, or lengthy pedal-to-rudder wires and while the paddler maintains constant grip on the paddle. The invention is composed of two complimentary, interactive devices: 1) a signaling device made up of a multi-channel radio controller/encoder, an appropriate power source and an antenna, which is either attached to or incorporated into the paddle of a Kayak, SUP, or other paddle craft, 2) a rudder-activating device made up of a radio receiver/decoder, two servo motors, and a power source which is either attached to the mechanical rudder or incorporated into the Kayak, SUP or other paddle craft. And a two-part rudder blade made up of an upper, rotating blade head section and a lower snap-on and snap-off blade fin.
