Features
C4 paddles all feature our unique patented design. They have an oval shape for comfort and strength, a tapered shaft for minimal material. A dihedral ‘spine like feature’ in the back of the blade that keeps the blade tracking straight and minimizes inefficiency in the first 3” of water and turbulence underneath the board. The blade is pitched forward to push water backwards and down and to create a lifting effect with each stroke.
Evaluators said:
