PERFORMANCE - STYLE - DURABILITY

"IT'S OFFICIAL! The Hard Core is the best paddle I have ever used. The bends are near perfect in shape, size, and length, and the indexing is great. The shaft is stiff and responsive but loads well under pressure, which makes boof strokes AMAZING.
                                         
                                         Ethan Boswell

"This paddle has great power, but it doesn’t feel like a big sluggish blade. It moves smoothly through the water on every stroke. Sculling and drawing feel really strong and controlled. There is never even a second of paddle flutter. Nothing has ever given me the confidence I have with the Hardcore"

WHITE WATER

Our White water paddle is available with several different shaft styles and constructions and the paddles are named according to the different shaft options.

Each shaft option is combined with the same durable, high performance carbon blade and all our shafts are made with a solid cedar core.

HANDCRAFTED IN GOLD BAR, WA, USA

Looking for a backup breakdown or travel paddle that feels and performs like a one piece and is just as durable? Look no further! Our unique internal locating and clamping mechanism creates a super positive joint that wont 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 need to choose the feather upon order.
