For a powerful race from start to finish.
If you’ve developed the kind of upper body fitness that can churn through water like a blender on full-noise, you need a slightly larger blade to take advantage of your full potential. A paddle like the Gara Odin-M Racing Wing Paddle, hand-built in South Africa by a brand favored by world champions, will help you power through any race or training session.
Made from lightweight carbon fibre, the paddle’s blades have a very low swing weight, keeping your strokes fast and furious as you charge past competitors. A mid-sized, teardrop blade shape has a strong forward catch, aiding acceleration and top-end boat speed. Made from carbon fibre and fibreglass, the shaft features an ideal combination of rigidity and flexibility, while the split-shaft design enables on-the-go adjustments to length or feather. An included travel bag makes it easy to stow your weapon for a safe transport experience. This powerful paddle will definitely help you reach the finish line in your best time yet.

Just paddled the Odin in big conditions in the Colombia River Gorge at Hood River, best paddle I’ve ever used! Ultra light but still felt strong with solid catch and power through the water with super clean/easy exit.
