This paddle strikes just the right balance between performance and value. The Carbon offers perfect on-the-go length adjustment in a light and durable package. This paddle features the pre-preg technology of our Carbon Plus line, with just the right balance of stiffness and flex, in a more affordable package. The hydro seal fortifies the shaft exterior, creating a watertight seal that enhances buoyancy — a helpful feature for newer paddlers. Adding more durability to the design, all sizes 85 and above feature a thicker, stronger SDS shaft. Available in both vario and 3-piece options, this paddle is easy to transport and adjust on the fly.
