A general purpose, all-around paddle. The narrow drop shape outline ensures a very forgiving and easy stroke. Designed for light to medium weight paddlers."Shafts are available in three constructions, each with a stiffness tailored to match the specific blade choice. Shaft stiffness is critical to the paddling experience: stiffer shafts deliver more power in the short term whereas a softer shaft is preferred for long distance / endurance. In general, stiffer shafts are matched to the larger and more powerful blades. Pro and Apex shafts are seamless with no weak joining points resulting in strongest construction possible. Sanded finish eliminates the need for wax, giving the paddler perfect grip. Hybrid shaft incorporates bamboo finish for added durability.
