Features

Tight grain Native Upstate NY Tulip in shaft, for a great strength to weight ratio. Blade is laminated from Tulip, Walnut and Maple. Nice flex, beauty and function. These paddles also come with a ’soft’ lip on the powerface entry point, which helps the paddle slide into the water easily. Beautiful laminated combinations of walnut and basswood in the blade; the shaft is a super strong, suitably light, Native Tulip. Phenolic protective blade insets are extra
