Here is a new paddle for the smaller built paddlers wanting a good quality paddle for endurance racing. It is a 2 piece paddle allowing length adjustment(205cm to 215cm) and offset angle to suit the paddler and being 2 piece fits in the boot, gearbag etc and a lot easier without being too heavy to paddle with.
The latest shape is J wing blade with a curve to the blade which we are calling a J wing paddle, they area great first wing racing blade. The length is suited to most medium to smaller sized paddlers, with longer paddles catching more river bed in shellow water situations and wearing you down leaving you fatigued quicker. It is called a J-wing as the outside edge resembles a āJā shape.
These paddles are not tipped. New Zealand and the Coast to Coast race in particular is the only place in the world which requires them, however we can show you different ways to ensure you get a good long life out of your blades. Many top paddlers prefer paddles without tips as the tips bend and damage the composite material around the tip and are harder to repair. Just remember they are paddles, not push sticks and looking after gear means the gear looks after you.
