Bending Branches Black Pearl 11 Paddle

Like to cover miles effortlessly? Weighing only 1 pound, the Black Pearl 11 paddle from Bending Branches is smooth, quiet and fatigue-minimizing while providing efficient power transfer.

• Great for bow, stern or solo paddlers; ideal for long-distance flatwater trips and those prioritizing weight or performance over economy
• Bent shaft design allows the blade to pull more easily perpendicular to the water for a more efficient forward stroke, while still being capable of J-strokes for correction
• Bouyant foam core carbon blade is mid-sized, offering enough surface area to easily maneuver the canoe without being overly fatiguing on longer trips
• Slight dihedral added to the power face of blade allows for smoother, more efficient forward strokes
• Knife-like edge makes correctional strokes quiet and smooth
• Nylon-weave tip protection seals in the carbon blade and prolongs the life of the paddle
• Contoured palm grip reduces fatigue and improves power transfer
• Proudly handmade in Osceola, Wisconsin
