The Windermere is a Algonquin square tapering deep water paddle with a square shape and narrow bottom getting wider higher up which makes for gentle loading of the power, it’s approximately 14cm at its widest and 75cm long. I absolutely love paddling and this paddle makes life on the water so sweet especially if you opt for the northwoods style grip. | |
The Buttermere is a very long flexible otter-tail deep water paddle it’s only 9cm wide and 83 cm long. It glides through the water producing a remarkable amount of power. | |
The Leven is a short powerful white water paddle. When developing this paddle we wanted one with power and durability for use on grade 3 & 4 water, but short enough for our British rivers. Specs are 22.5cm wide and 45cm long, the blade is also glass reinforced and has a flexible resin tip and a curved T grip. | |
The Coniston is a candain style/freestyle paddle. The blade measures 14cm wide and 69cm long, it has been designed with input from several coaches. It has a ridge running from the shaft to nearly the tip of the blade and is shaped to slice through the water, with its unique grip adding to the style and feel. | |
The Grasmere is a great paddle for lakes and quiet water measuring 13cm wide and is 71cm long. It’s based on the 1920’s Racine Boat Company paddle that was given free with their wood and canvas canoes. with its long thin blade which flexes from two thirds of the way down the blade makes for a amazing Canadian style paddle which moves through the water quietly. | |
The Littlewater (child’s paddle) is a smaller version of the derwent 13cm wide and 60cm long and a small pear grip is ideal for the smaller paddlers.
