Thank you for visiting our web site. We build only natural wood racing paddles. We had the choice to build either carbon
fiber or wood paddles, but decided in favor of wood. However, being practical we do agree with the use of carbon shafts for certain types of paddles, such as stand up paddles for instance. These shafts are so long that strength and weight becomes the number one factor. Also carbon shafts are good at transferring energy instantly, but it does take its toll on your shoulder and and elbow joints.
However, we like the racing qualities of wood, we like its lively action. Energy exerted onto a wood paddle, causes the shaft to flex. At the release of the stroke the energy stored is suddenly released as the shaft straightens out helping to snap the blade out of the water quickly. Experienced paddlers know the feeling of a good blade snapping out of the water. Environmentally friendly, wood has a palatable life span that recycles back to earth quickly. Every wood paddle is one of a kind and can never repeat itself ever. A variety of lighter wood and cleaner shapes have accelerated paddle performance. Plus it is beautiful a product that has helped with the marketing, advertising and sales. Most importantly, we believe a well-crafted wood blade performs better than any non-wood paddle.
The world champion Tahitians, placed all five teams in the top ten, in Molokai. All of their teams used wood paddles. That is the most telling statement anyone can produce for now. We find that wood allows new ideas to be introduced and tested quicker, therefore making evolution faster.
In fairness to all manner of paddles, if a person puts in the many miles needed to be a winner, any decent paddle will make that person successful. It's just that wood paddles are friendlier and will allow your joints a longer career, so to speak. Lastly we have been in the business of building racing paddles over 20 years and really enjoy working with wood.
