Blade
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. The superb buoyancy in the light-weight blade makes it a sheer delight to use - it's excellent for power strokes and, with maximum efficiency in each stroke, saves the paddler energy over long distances.
