Beyond Cedar: Hardwood Baby



Product Description:

In our Minnesota line of paddles we have ventured beyond using just cedar into using hardwoods. We feel the added ash on the edge of the blade will provide added durability as will the Mahogany that sandwiches the cedar along the length of the shaft.

Our Minnesota line of canoe paddles is especially designed for the types of paddling plied in our great state - any and all types of paddling! It has a beautifully constructed hybrid blade shape. The rounded narrower tip will slip in and out of the water with ease, reducing fatigue and stress on your body, as would a traditional beavertail paddle. But flaring out towards the middle this blade will still give you the power to plow through the toughest wave or current.

The blade is sheathed in fiberglass and a hard epoxy tip is added to ward off pesky logs and rocks. And the dedicated Gunflint grip, indexed shaft and thin blade are all designed to remove stress from your hands and joints.

Choices. Choices. Choices. You can choose to get the Minnesota 14 degree bent shaft or get our Minnesota 7 which is a 7 degree bent shaft. Same great design, just a little different bend.

Great name! Our state of Minnesota has everything from canoeing on the Mississippi River to Voyageurs National Park to the one and only Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. We feel this paddle is well designed to handle those and any other conditions. So we felt Minnesota was a fitting name for a well rounded canoe paddle.
