The wood blades are prized for their durability and quiet entry and exit, and the dense, dark woods used hold their form well over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWood gives you one of the most forgiving forward strokes you'll find in a paddle. The natural buoyancy springs the blade out of the water, and the wood soaks up the rigors of the river or lake for a smoother, more enjoyable stroke than composite or plastic blades. Each blade is wrapped with Rockgard tip protection and coated in fiberglass to seal in the wood and guard against long-term wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 100% carbon shaft is the lightest material available, so long days on the water are less fatiguing, and it's ovalized where your hands sit for better comfort and control. Versa-Lok gives you 15cm of additional length and infinite feathering, plus a 40-inch tape measure printed on the shaft so you can check your catch on the spot. Proudly hand built in Osceola, Wisconsin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft Material: 100% Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Material: Red Alder, Roasted Basswood \u0026amp; Basswood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Size: 7.5\" x 18\" (102.5 sq. in.)
