Materials & Construction
Fiberglass Shaft
The fiberglass shaft keeps the paddle lightweight, strong, and comfortable during long days on the water. Fiberglass naturally flexes slightly under load, which reduces shock to the paddler’s hands, wrists, and shoulders while maintaining efficient power transfer. The result is a durable shaft that delivers smooth strokes and dependable control in demanding river conditions.
Dynel & Kevlar Pro-Tip Protection
The Pro-Tip adds Kevlar and Dynel protection at the edge or tip of the blade, where it takes the most abuse for unmatched abrasion and impact resistance. This tough reinforcement guards against rock hits and hard use while extending blade life and maintaining reliable performance over time.
Marine-Grade Spar Varnish
A premium marine-grade spar varnish finish seals against moisture and UV rays while bringing out the natural wood grain and craftsmanship Sawyer is known for.
Hot Dog Grip
The hot dog grip is a cylindrical grip design that allows paddlers to quickly reposition their hands for different strokes and maneuvers. Its simple, rounded shape offers a comfortable hold and dependable control, making it a favorite among river guides and paddlers who need versatility and durability on the water.
Sawyer Paddles and Oars are made to order, Solwyrx orders them to spec and rarely has them in stock, most paddles and oars will be shipped out in anywhere from 2-8 weeks.
