The blade shape provides a smoother forward stroke with less chances for flutter, stiffer feel, and quieter entry and exit. The upgraded carbon + nylon blade material is stronger (meaning less flex) and thicker, making it more durable and robust long-term.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon-reinforced nylon blades are engineered to be the best option in plastics, renowned for their combination strength, weight, and stiffness.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e102.5 sq. inch blade it the ideal size for quick boat maneuverability, while the sharp dihedral provides a silky-smooth forward stroke with zero tolerance for fluttering, preserving your energy for longer paddling trips.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThe traditional “oversized” blade design provides better horsepower and control, most commonly associated with high-angle forward strokes and those doing flatwater kayaking, packrafting, racing, and kayak fishing.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e100% carbon shaft is the lightest material available, so paddling is less fatiguing and more enjoyable on longer trips.

This compartmentalized fit is ideal for storage, backpacking, packrafting and as a back-up paddle.
