Shred All new blade shape! With a little help from world champion kayaker Ken Whiting and friends, we have redesigned the SHRED to complement all the changing kayaks on the market. The result is a blade shape with no flutter and lots of power. It also looks cool too...



Splat An asymmetric paddle designed to be fast yet smooth - a great paddle for carving up ocean waves. The reduced blade surface makes it ideal for smaller paddlers, with less strain on the arms and shoulders.

The white blades: These are made using a fibreglass reinforced polythalamide material. What does this mean? Tough. Blades don't wear down, edges don't get ragged. The white blades come with either AMT aluminum or fibreglass shafting.

The black blades: These are made using the same polythalamide material as that found in the white blades, only this time it is reinforced with carbon fibres. What does this mean? As with the white blades - tough, but also a little stiffer and lighter. The black blades come with only with carbon shafting.
