The dense, dark woods Bending Branches selects are among the lighter options available while still holding form and resisting wear, and there is not a quieter entry and exit than these blades, especially next to plastic. The natural buoyancy springs the paddle out of the water and the wood absorbs the rigors of the river or lake, giving one of the easiest, most forgiving forward strokes in paddling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is designed for a natural low-angle stroke, so if your forward stroke is generally more horizontal and relaxed, this shape provides sufficient torque without being fatiguing. That makes the Navigator an ideal companion for flatwater and sea kayaking, plus solo and pack canoeing.
