Every paddle in the Honu range comes with a full replacement warranty for any manufacturing defects for two years.
The nylon used in the Element blade is reinforced with glass fibres during the moulding process. This process produces a stiff and virtually indestructible paddle blade.
Usually reserved for race cars and spacecraft, the Evolution paddle blades are crafted with pre-impregnated carbon that is then cured under pressure in an autoclave oven.
Replacing the standard rounded connection with an engineered hexagonal joint removes the need for a clamp and any possibility of the blade twisting in the shaft.
This engineered shape provides strength, stability and power. Water pulls evenly across the blade without feathering, while the front dihedral provides the strength.
