A powerful blade designed for the experienced paddler. For use in racing, down winders and waves. "Shafts are available in two 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. All shafts are seamless, built using the filament winding process with no weak joining points resulting in strongest construction possible. Sanded finish eliminates the need for wax, giving the paddler perfect grip.
