Great for bow, stern or solo paddlers; ideal for long-distance flatwater trips and those prioritizing weight or performance over economy
Bent shaft design allows the blade to pull more easily perpendicular to the water for a more efficient forward stroke, while still being capable of J-strokes for correction
Bouyant foam core carbon blade is mid-sized, offering enough surface area to easily maneuver the canoe without being overly fatiguing on longer trips
Slight dihedral added to the power face of blade allows for smoother, more efficient forward strokes
Knife-like edge makes correctional strokes quiet and smooth
Nylon-weave tip protection seals in the carbon blade and prolongs the life of the paddle
Contoured palm grip reduces fatigue and improves power transfer
