Ainsworth Canoe C100 AFT Glass

CLASSIC C100 (AFT)

One of our best selling products this paddle is designed for the canoe fanatic looking for a light, durable all-round blade. Fitted with a comfortable T grip, the paddles blade has natural floatation and hence feels light in the water. With a choice of two shaft materials. This paddle is both great on flat water touring and on white water and is a great first paddle for any canoeist. These paddles feature AFT - Advanced Foam Technology - blades. These are made using a unique polyurethane foam construction to produce a paddle which is tough but is also light and floaty.

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.

One Piece Glass Straight Shaft

Ainsworth offers a Glass fibre prepreg composite shaft that has more flex than a carbon shaft but still with the warm feel of a composite material. This shaft is often favoured by touring paddlers to lessen the impact of a stiff shaft on longer journeys. When this shaft is used in its shorter format on a whitewater paddle, it is still stiff enough to deliver the power and yet give a degree of flex that some paddlers prefer. This shaft is a padders choice and has a cost-saving over a carbon shaft.
