Feels like it's a Mission Impossible kind of paddle
It feels so good, so sturdy but also lightweight, feels like it's coming out from one of those spy movies haha! One moment is a paddle the next is a sniper rifle :)
A durable, high-quality paddle that can take a beating that combines a nylon blade with carbon composite shaft and anti-twist ergo handle. Comes complete with a carry case.
The Element Paddle combines a virtually indestructible nylon blade with the same high-quality carbon composite shaft. The carbon shaft not only makes the paddle lighter and stronger, it features a flex pattern that is easier on the paddler and more responsive in the water, making it easy for beginners to become confident paddlers.
The reinforced nylon blade is the most durable blade type available and will stand up to the harshest treatment. Reinforcing ribs run from the shaft connection down the center to produce a strong and responsive blade.
Like all Honu products, the Evolution Paddle is designed to last and isn't a throw-away entry-level paddle often found in the market. Long after paddlers decide to upgrade to a higher performance carbon blade, the Element remains a reliable back-up option.

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.
This engineered shape provides strength, stability and power. Water pulls evenly across the blade without feathering, while the front dihedral provides the strength.
