The Riptide is designed for maximum power in whitewater and surf, making it especially suitable for big wave freestyle kayaking, surf kayaking and waveski surfing. When things are moving fast and you only have a few strokes to make all the difference, the Riptide will take care of you.
The blade is designed with a blade-to-shaft offset to has been finetuned to match the powerful blade to create minimal flutter, making strokes predictable in dynamic environments.
This is not a paddle that will suit everyone’s needs. But for those who spend time in the surf zone, this is a game changer.
CONSTRUCTION
The blades have a composite construction, with carbon, aramid, glass and epoxy resin combined for stiffness and robustness.
Two shaft options are available: 100% glass for a flexy feel, and a carbon/glass shaft for maximum power transfer.
