Next-level quality and performance. We are proud to have teamed up with Chad Meek who handcrafts each blade and produces what we believe are the stiffest, toughest, best strength-to-weight blades on the planet.
24 individual pieces of carbon cloth are meticulously laid into each blade, adding strength and stiffness where it's most needed to oppose the forces that act on the blade during paddling. This ensures the blade maintains it's integrity of shape, minimising flex or cavitation. The increased power transfer in the water makes every one of your strokes count. What happens next? You go further, faster.
River paddling is particularly hard on paddles and requires special construction techniques to cope with the frequent impact with shallow rocks. More woven carbon is added to the impact zones (such as the tips) and is then highly compressed using vacuum infusion technology with high quality resins, resulting in optimal fibre wet-out. The core material of the blades is meticulously managed to make sure that the edges of the blades are solid carbon. These factors combined ensure that the blades absorb shocks from rocks extremely well.
We custom assemble your paddle to order in our New Zealand workshop with prompt delivery times.

The A-Series is a twisted tear-drop blade that is perfect for paddlers with a well-developed paddle stroke who want one paddle to do it all. It has a beautifully sculpted tip that stays quiet even during high cadence on flat water and a very strong catch which is useful in turbulent water. The characteristics of this blade will reward good rotation from the paddler with a long, smooth stroke and great power response, but won't require quite the precision with each stroke that the B-Series requires. Ideal for strong Ski or Multisport paddlers who paddle in a range of conditions.

When every split-second counts, you want the light, stiff, asymmetric tear-drop blade of the B-Series working for you. This beautiful paddle likes to really go for it, tracking away from the boat towards the exit, rewarding a well developed paddle stroke with maximal power transfer. Ideal for sprint or marathon paddlers or advanced ski and multisport paddlers in calm conditions.

The G-Series is a symmetrical, parallel-edged wing blade, very popular for its balance and predictability. Most paddlers prefer this style of blade, particularly in turbulent water or while they are still developing enough "feel" to get the most out of a tear-drop style blade. If you're looking for great support, comfort and security from your paddle, the G-series will put you at ease and make you smile. But make no mistake, this blade is still fast. It has all the lightweight stiffness of the rest of our meticulously handcrafted range so when you put the hammer down, it responds. Perfect for beginner, intermediate and even advanced multisporters and ski paddlers who like the stability of a balanced blade.
