Some paddlers are simply happy to be in the water. Others are born to make waves. Our performance paddles have been created for the latter group. These hand-built works of art have been meticulously designed and crafted with the most discerning kayak devotee in mind. All feature shafts of T-700 carbon, known for its exceptionally high strength to weight ratio. (When it’s not in the water with our paddles, it’s in the air with Boeing aircraft.) All also carry composite blades that are beautifully balanced and flutter-free. The Surge has the largest blade of the three, for high-angle, high-energy paddlers. The Swell is for more relaxed, but no less demanding low-angle paddlers. The Spindrift is a top-of-the-line choice for light touring. If you want to get technical, you’ve come to the right page.

Surge, Swell and Spindrift FG models are offered in three colors: Hi-vis Green, Yellow and Sunburst Orange. All Performance paddles are available with exclusive PLUS ferrule (adds 1oz to weight).
