BLADE DESIGNS

Blade Dihedral-Kayak
Dihedral blade shape was created to direct water to flow evenly off each side of the blade creating a smooth and stable stroke.

Asymmetrical Blade Shape
Asymmetrical kayak blades are designed for a balanced stroke, reducing torque or twisting of the blade.
Carbon Reinforced - Injection Molded Nylon
Using recycled carbon with a mix of nylon, these blades are lighter than our fiberglass reinforced injection molded nylon blades.
BLADE SHAPE
River Running
With a more pronounced tip and more surface area above the center of the blade, this design is optimized for a better forward stroke.
