Racing has long been a tradition in our sport. It’s all about get up and go. You need plenty of blade for the catch aspect of the stroke and you need the paddle to be light but strong. Slalom blades have a squared tip to maximize clearance of the upper blade while going through gates. The Wildwater blade has a canted tip to correlate with the entry angle for maximum blade on entry impact.
These blades have slightly curved powerfaces and the ash plates run all the way to the tips on the powerface for a high strength to weight ratio and consistent flex through to the tip. These are also excellent choices for someone who is used to common synthetic blade sizes on the market- and wood tends to be more robust and repairable. Trying to relate to the beauty of racing? These should be your first choice for wood racing paddles- very tough with great swing weight.
