Do you like to fiddle with your gear until it feels exactly right? The Bending Branches Slice Plus paddle offers you versatility with its clever adjustable ferrule that adapts to changing conditions.

  • Remarkably simple design allows total adjustment of feather angle, from 0° to 60° and a 15cm adjustment of overall length
  • This high-angle paddle can be adjusted to minimize fatigue in calm water, maximize control in rough water or fit multiple paddlers who use a single boat
  • Fiberglass shaft increases comfort with a slight flex; maintains a warm feel for comfort in cold weather
  • Fiberglass-reinforced nylon blades with asymmetrical dihedral shape pull efficiently through entire stroke without excess flutter
  • High-angle blades offer smooth control for forward, backward, sweep or sculling strokes
  • 2-piece design breaks down easily for storage and transport
  • Equipped with heavy-duty rubber drip rings to keep hands and lap dry

Made in USA.

    Comments about Bending Branches Slice Plus Paddle:

    I bought this paddle with a fitness kayak and didn't know what paddle length would be suitable. It has allowed me to experiment with the length and angle, as well as use it on my other kayaks that are wider. Now that I've figured out the most appropriate paddle size and configuration, I can spend the big bucks on a lighter paddle and knowing that It'll be right for me, and relegate the Slice to a spare or a loaner. The blades are practically indestructible. The only downside of this paddle is that it's a few ounces on the heavy side, but for the price and versatility it can't be beat. I would recommend it for anyone just starting out, as it gives one the opportunity to settle into the most comfortable paddle style rather than being forced into a paddle style that is dictated by the equipment.
