Quickblade Stingray Outrigger Paddle

The blade is only 10 inches long (25cm), it reduces the catch and exit time by 100% as it takes half the time. The reduced blade length allows the center of area of the blade to be just 3.5" from the tip of the blade giving it a more distinct snappy catch and release. This blade has a thin foiled shape, and 12 degree angle to the shaft is designed to have some "winged" effect as you drive it into the water giving you extra length on the power phase of the stroke. It performs a similar effect in reverse as the blade starts to exit from the water it wants to thrust forward slightly and efficiently all of the way to the exit.

We created a very comfortable hollow carbon palm grip that comes standard on the Stingray
