Crafted with premium materials and thoughtful engineering, this paddle excels in challenging water conditions, making it a favorite among seasoned paddlers.

Blade Construction

• Material: The paddle features blades made from an exceptionally tough carbon-reinforced nylon resin. This blend ensures a balance between lightweight performance and rugged durability, enabling the paddle to withstand the rigors of whitewater use without compromising on efficiency.
• Blade Shape: The asymmetric dihedral blade design provides smooth and efficient strokes, reducing flutter and improving stability in turbulent conditions. Its profile enhances power delivery and maneuverability, crucial for quick adjustments and tight turns.
• Size: Optimized blade dimensions provide the right surface area for delivering powerful strokes without overwhelming the paddler, accommodating a range of paddling styles and techniques.

Shaft Construction

• Material: The paddle’s shaft is constructed from 100% carbon, which significantly reduces weight while maintaining exceptional stiffness and strength. This design minimizes fatigue during extended paddling sessions.
• Grip Texture: A smooth yet grippy texture ensures a comfortable and secure hold, even when wet or covered in debris from the water.
• Ovalized Shaft: The ovalized shaft design at the grip points provides better ergonomics, improving hand positioning and comfort for extended use.

Performance Features

• Feathering Options: The paddle offers adjustable feathering angles, typically in increments of 15 degrees, allowing paddlers to customize the blade alignment to suit their preferences and adapt to varying wind and water conditions.
• 2-Piece Design: Its two-piece construction allows for easy transport and storage without sacrificing the paddle’s structural integrity when assembled. The secure locking mechanism ensures a rigid and reliable connection.
• Weight: Weighing approximately 30 ounces (varies slightly depending on paddle length), the Shred Carbon Paddle is exceptionally lightweight, enabling quick strokes and reducing strain over time.
