New Paddle Design

We'd like to introduce our newest bent shaft paddle design...

It's named after the beautiful Saganaga Lake in the BWCA, and we're calling it the 'Sag'. We went simple on this one. One piece on either side for both the blade and the grip, letting the beautiful dark grain of the cedar to define this paddle.



Product Description:
Taking it’s name from Saganaga Lake, one of the wonderful areas of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, every Sag canoe paddle is handmade from beautiful western red and white cedar to be both lightweight and extremely durable. The slightly narrower and longer blade alleviates stress on the joints while the 14 degree bend at the throat allow for a powerful stroke. The blade is sheathed in fiberglass and a hard epoxy tip is added to ward off pesky logs and rocks. And our very own fox-head palm grip, indexed shaft and thin blade are all designed to remove stress from your hands and joints.
