How is it protected against impacts while paddling?
ABS plastic rail on the edge of the blade for impact protection.
How to change the size of your paddle
The settings depend on the user, the environment and the kayak:
A short paddle for white water and narrow kayaks (< 60 cm wide).
*Short paddle = between 20 and 30 cm more than your height
A longer paddle for touring and wider kayaks (> 60 cm wide).
*Long paddle = between 30 and 40 cm more than your size
Why choose the X900 kayak paddle?
Construction:
- unidirectional multi-layer carbon for the best balance between lightness and strength
- monobloc for uniform flex and excellent strength at the blade/tube junction.
- foamed blades for maximum rowing stability and comfort in and out of the water
Shape:
- blades with dihedral for greater fluidity and optimum balance in the water
- sea kayak type shape with drip stop integrated into the blade
How to adjust the angle of your paddle
The settings depend on the user, the environment and the kayak:
Between 0° and 45° for white water, where quick movements and reactivity are necessary.
Between 45° and 90° for touring, where reduced windage is required to reduce the necessary effort.
