Paddles
New for the 2010 season - C1 blades strong enough to stand up to some serious abuse!
With a combination of compression molded foam core technology, one piece construction and internal kevlar, we are confident that you won't find a better paddle. Whether you are running the steeps or cruising to a fishing spot these blades will see you on your line. The blade shape takes a lot from our slalom racing background, with a slight recurve for improved catch, and dihedral to eliminate flutter. The foam core and carbon facing results in a stiff responsive blade with dynel tip and edging for superior abrasion resistance. The entire blade and shaft are made as one piece, eliminating the weak point where blade meets shaft in conventional paddles.
Our standard constuction incorporates an additional kevlar layer in both blade and shaft to eliminate cracking and water ingress. As always at Shaggy Designs, these blades can be customised to your individual requirements with different layups, colours, etc. Our standard model has a straight shaft, left uncut so you can trim to length and install a T-grip. We can produce blades with wood shafts, crank shafts, and breakdown paddles to special order.
