"The Mangu Bent Shaft helped eliminate tendinitis in my forearm and gave me the confidence to get back to paddling challenging whitewater after time lost to injuries... These paddles live up to the hype and then some."

PERFORMANCE - STYLE - DURABILITY

Hard Core Paddles are high quality all-around whitewater kayak paddles, used by a wide range of paddlers for creeking, playboating, river-running and racing.

The paddles are named according to the shaft style. They all have the same light, durable, strong-catch carbon blades and are made with a composite-sleeved cedar core for light weight and optimum performance.

HANDCRAFTED IN GOLD BAR, WA USA

Looking for a two-piece breakdown or travel paddle that feels and performs like a one-piece and is just as durable? You've found it! 

Our unique internal locating and clamping mechanism creates a super positive joint that won't wear or loosen over time, and has no external or protruding mechanisms. A simple 360 degree turn with the supplied Allen key will set or release the clamp. Because the joint has a built in locator you will want to choose the feather when you order.

Bent and Straight two-piece shaft available in 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 degree right and left hand feathers, and regular or small grip.
