Paddles

 

BORÉALDESIGN paddles are crafted with an emphasis on quality and attention to detail. Pressure moulding technology produces a blade with more fibre content than resin, resulting in a paddle that is both lightweight and durable. An exceptionally brilliant finish on both sides of the blade allows water to flow smoothly around blade surfaces.

All of our composite paddle blades feature a “drip groove”, allowing water to drip from the paddle blade instead of running down the shaft. The drip groove, combined with drip rings, allows the paddler to stay dry.

A good paddle makes all the difference.

BORÉALDESIGN paddle blades are asymmetrical in shape for smooth entry into the water. Resistance increases gradually as the blade surface is submerged. The angle of the blade face is shaped to allow water to flow evenly over it, reducing the effect of turbulence. The angle also increases blade surface, providing more power at a feather touch!

 

Delphina

With its narrow blades that easily slice through water, the Delphina allows the paddler to maintain a dast pace over long distances. This is a dream paddle for practicing lean or carve techniques.

Orca

The Orca blades feature a large propulsion surface, allowing the paddler to achieve a faster pace  within a few strokes. It is the ideal paddle for those seeking more power.

Lenght: 210 ton 240 cm (82.6 to 94.5 po)

Blades surface: 710 cm2 (110 po2)

Archipel

This interesting alternative to the Delphina and the Orca offers propulsion power, allowing the paddler to maintain a good pace. This all-around paddle is ideal for all types of recreational kayaking.

Lenght: 210 to 240 cm (82.6 to 94.5 po)

Materials
Plastic blades are sturdy and maintenance-free, but are somewhat heavier. Fibreglass paddles are light, strong and perform well. Carbon paddles have stiff and incredibly light blades. However, they require careful handling, owing to the thinness of the blades.
