The Bending Branches Arrow canoe wood paddle offers all-around performance.

  • Wood paddles offer unmatched balance and performance, and they feel comfortable on hands regardless of temperature
  • Rectangular blade features a Wrap Around™ Rockgard® tip to protect it from rocks and to reduce water absorbtion
  • 7-laminate blend of light and dark hardwoods create a blade that is stiffer and more efficient than those on general-use, recreational paddles
  • Comfortable, classic palm grip minimizes hand fatigue with its asymetrical shape

Made in USA.

        Comments about Bending Branches Arrow Canoe Paddle:

        This paddle looked lovely in the shop and is great to paddle with. It is strong, light and extremely comfortable in the hand. I can put lots of power to the blade when required. It does seem to aid fatigue when compared with other paddles i have used.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Used this paddle on small calm lakes, shallow streams and the open water of Lake Superior! Handled great under all circumstances! It's weighted well, smooth in the water and minimized fatigue...
