Low Angle Paddling

• The most common paddling style using a more casual cadence.
• The paddle is kept at a low angle relative to the water and a relaxed arching stroke is used.
• Smooth forward stroke reduces fatigue.

Mid-sized Fiberglass Reinforced Blades

• Mid-sized blades fit the widest range of kayakers.
• Lighter, buoyant feel on the water.
• Durable Carbon reinforced blades for lightest swing weight in the rec. category.
• Dihedral for smooth forward strokes.

Adustable Ferrule

• Elegant, easy to use design.
• Low profile button looks and feels like a 1-piece paddle.
• Internal gear system for precise fit.
• Adjusts feather left or right in 15 degree increments.
• You determine what feather works best for you.

Straight Shaft Carbon

• More traditional feeling and generally less expensive.
• The lightest weight option available.
• Continuous length allows for easy hand movement.

Standard and Small Diameter Shaft

• Two shaft sizes ensure you get a proper fit.
• A good fit allows you to use a light grip, reducing fatigue and increasing comfort and performance.
• Hands larger than 7” fit our Standard Shaft.
• Hands smaller than 6.5” fit our Small Shaft
• Hands between 6.5” and 7” - try both!

Light Swing Weight

• Swing weight is the weight you feel each time you lift your blade during a stroke.
• A light swing weight reduces fatigue and makes paddling more fun.

Correct Length

• Locate the closest combination of paddler height and boat width listed.
• Narrower boats or shorter paddlers subtract 5cm for high angle and 10cm for low angle.
• Add length for wider boats and sit-on-tops
• Use this chart as a starting point and contact BHP for more information if needed.
