This Sprite Bent Shaft "river or whitewater canoe paddle", made by Carlisle is on close out. We snagged them! Paddlers Note: For Bent Shaft Paddles to start the paddle stroke, the paddle is turned vertical on entry to grab water as you reach forward to grab gulps of it. Follow through is shorter from a leaning forward position then sitting straight up again, thus pulling water, so the bent blade enters square to the water and very vertical as you reach forward in your stance and grab water. The twisting action for ruddering is marvelous once you get used to it, as the twisting the paddle while ruddering (trailing paddle in the water at the stern or back of the canoe) makes the boat turn! Flex the paddle, turn the boat, a lot! These are beautiful 7 laminate, (butcher block layers) paddles that help assure strength, beauty, and a wonderful piece of craftsmanship to paddle with. The square end shape has a resin tip for protection to help prevent splitting. These have a great surface area for great performance. These quantities are limited as this is a close out! Get yours while we still have them in stock, ready to ship! They are available in 50", 52", and 54" lengths, small, medium and large as a standard size range.
Paddle Measuring Tip! - Bent shaft paddles run much shorter than a standard paddle because of the above quoted paddling method and the frequent and aggressive switching of sides if needed. With Choices as a 50", 52", and 54", these are sold as a small, medium, and large in length. Match that to how you compare to the average adult range (not including extremes). Women have longer torsos in general, so I would use the same evaluation in relation to standard women ranges. For extra large or smaller folks, grab the paddle on the end of the size range. If you are uncertain and want to place an order, just let us know your height and male or female in the shopping cart comments, stating: "please review the length", and we will evaluate the best length option for you.
