Blade Material
The type of kayaking you engage in will often determine the blade materials. A rugged day on whitewater calls for heavy-duty polypropylene that can withstand high impact, while the ultimate strength-to-weight ratio on longer touring trips favors lightweight fiberglass blades.
Blade Shape
Contemporary, asymmetrical blades like the spoon shape maximize surface area, capturing more water to pull you further through with each stroke. For stability, the ribbed center of a dihedral blade reduces flutter for a smooth stroke.
Blade Size
When combined with sturdy upper body strength, long, narrow blades create relaxed strokes ideal for touring. On whitewater, choose a blade with less surface area for powerful strokes and increased maneuverability.
Whether you’re taking on choppy river waters or just want a scenic glide across a lake, we have a kayak paddle to keep your turns sharp and strokes smooth.
