These ground-breaking paddles were available for some time but are currently out of production. When we have more news we'll announce it.


The "Hi-Pro" has a carbon/foam core construction, color "natural", graphite black.

The center of the blade area is closer to the tip than in many blades for a full grab at the "catch" part of the stroke. This feature also allows a shorter overall paddle length for ease of "slicing" movements and for blending strokes.

The blade flotation is "neutral" so the blade does not sink or push up in the water to interfere with you making that precision stroke.

The blade face is curved from tip to shaft for a good grab, and flat from edge to edge to avoid having the blade curve through the water when sliced. As a result the blade slices really cleanly.

The contoured back of the blade and the blade curvature combine to offer quiet and smooth skimming in the "low brace" position for making accurate balanced "edged turns".

The Sports-Pro has smaller blades than the Hi-Pro, but retains the same smooth contoured back, and blade face profile for precision use. It's a great choice if you consider the Hi-Pro to be a tad too large. The Sports-Pro offers all the same handling characteristics but offers "reduced bite size" in the water.

The Sports-Pro is available in carbon/foam core, with the same construction as the Hi-Pro, and also in a pleasingly lightweight glass/foam core combination in easily visible yellow.
