For whitewater canoeists, Aqua-Bound’s Edge canoe paddle is a durable and affordable choice that provides maximum power in every stroke.
The Edge is designed with open whitewater boaters and C1 paddlers in mind. Its low-swing weight paired with the comfortable and maneuverable T-grip make it an easy choice.
Edge Shaft & Grip Construction
The lightweight carbon straight shaft of the Edge is ovalized for a natural hold. It’s designed with our Ultimate T-grip, which is both very comfortable and gives you all the control you’ll need on the river.
The Edge is available in a 1-piece model, or if packability is important, also in 2 or 3-piece models. They break down for easy travel or as a spare paddle in your boat. The 3-piece model is popular with packrafters as an extra paddle, as it stows easily onboard small boats.

Edge Blade Construction
The Edge features a blade that’s a beefy 129 square inches, along with a full-sized curve for added power. It’s constructed of abX carbon-reinforced nylon that’ll take a beating on the rocks and whatever else the river dishes out.
The end of the blade is squared-off to allow you to make the quick strokes and turns needed for whitewater canoeing.
