Select Paddles XBlade Bent Shaft

At just 652 g, the Select XBlade Bent Shaft is one of the lightest carbon kayak paddles available for touring, expedition, and fitness paddling, and the ergonomic shaft takes that comfort a step further.

The bent shaft keeps your wrists aligned naturally through each stroke, reducing joint stress in a way that compounds over hours on the water. The ovalized full carbon shaft also comes in a narrower diameter option, making it a strong fit for paddlers with smaller hands, female paddlers, or anyone managing arthritic wrists or hands. The thin carbon blades are built with a dihedral spine for stiffness and flutter-free tracking, and four blade sizes from 550 cm² to 720 cm² let you choose between a finesse-focused touring stroke and a higher-output paddle with more surface area.

An anodized aluminum trigger-lock ferrule provides up to 10 cm of length adjustment and unlimited feathering options to dial in your preferred setup.
