Expedition Plus (Cosmetic Second)

Our most durable wood canoe paddle, the Expedition stands up to the most demanding conditions on long wilderness trips. This paddle is a “cosmetic second”, meaning it is 100% structurally sound but has minor cosmetic imperfections. All components, including the shaft, blade, and grip, meet our high-quality standards for durability and performance. Common cosmetic blemishes may include slight scratches, minor resin bubbles, wood grain inconsistencies, non-standard blade or grip layup, bleeding of the Rockgard® edge protectant, or slight misalignment of graphics. These imperfections are purely visual and do not affect the paddle’s strength, performance, or longevity.
