AFT (Advanced Foam Technology)

blades are made using a unique polyurethane high-pressure structural foam construction. This produces a paddle which is tough, lightweight and floaty. The low density is similar to that of a wooden paddle and so can offer the paddler much the same feel but with durability that exceeds the best plastic blades.

This is a unique process developed only by AINSWORTH PADDLES.
