SwELL vicuna 4 Piece paddle – carbon/nylon Swell Vicuna 4 Piece Paddle is a pack-down paddle with a carbon-fibre twill shaft and a stiff reinforced nylon blade. This performance paddle packs down small for transport or stowing. It is perfect for pack-rafting, stowing in your boat as a spare or for anyone short on space. The stiff nylon blade is reinforced and designed with a good dihedral to give you better efficiency and more comfort. Nylon is a tough material and this blade will happily take a beating – which suits paddlers looking for easy, no-fuss gear. This blade design is a step up from your average plastic blade but is still robust and cost effective. The shape is particularly suited for medium to low angled paddlers making it suitable for most recreational paddling, kayak touring and sea kayaking. The carbon-fibre twill shaft makes this paddle super strong and reduces its weight. It is a straight shaft with a low-profile lever joiner. The easy-to-use joiner allows you to adjust the paddle length and feather to suit your body, your kayak and your paddling style. The outer push-button joins allow the paddle to collapse even further for transport, storage or stowing. This paddle also comes in a fibreglass shaft as a 4-piece or a 2-piece paddle. In short, the Swell Vicuna 4 Piece Paddle – Carbon/Nylon is compact, tough and strong.
