This low angled narrow blade with soft dihedral & fine edges glides smoothly through the water. The excellent buoyancy in the blades minimises the energy used for each stroke making it ideal for long-distance sea touring.

• Glass Pro
  • GLASS PRE PREG Blades
  • AINSWORTH has developed the ` Snap Cure` manufacturing technique for Glass & Carbon prepreg materials. This dramatically reduces the processing time to make products from these high tech materials & so the Glass prepreg range of paddles with their inherent high-performance characteristics can be offered at cost-effective prices that transform the affordability for High-End paddles.
  • This construction offers the same strength as carbon prepreg paddles but with a little more weight & flexibility, which is sometimes a paddler preference.
     
• One-Piece Carbon Straight Shaft
  • AINSWORTH uses a carbon composite prepreg shaft with a percentage of bi-axial glass that increases the UTS (ultimate tensile strength) of the shaft. 
  • Glass has 3-5 times the elongation at break as carbon, & when laminated with the stiffer carbon material the best of both materials combine to make the ideal construction for paddle shafts.

  • The most important factors in choosing the length for your paddle are your height & the type of Kayaking, Canoeing or SUP’ing you'll be doing. Personal preference is also an important factor.

Paddle Length Guide:

The most important factors in choosing the length for your paddle are your height & the type of Kayaking, Canoeing or SUP’ing you'll be doing. We have tried to help you with this by creating a paddle guide, this is a guide only & there are other points to consider:

• Personal preference is also an important factor.
• People with long back require longer paddles.
• A longer paddle gives you more support & makes it easier to learn to roll.
• A floaty blade such as the AFT Classic range gives more support & the paddler uses less energy.
• Children require a shorter paddle
• In general, the longer the kayak, the longer the paddle.
