Evolution Carbon Highlights

The carbon version of the Evolution paddle is a complete end-to-end 3K pre-preg carbon paddle. The simple, understated design is combined with a with a complex seven layer blade lay-up that produces a light, strong, and high-performance paddle.

The Evolution Carbon paddle is a versatile paddle combining skilled craftsmanship, premium materials, and performance. The modern blade shape combines the control and predictability of a tear-drop-shaped paddle with the power generated by a square blade. The adjustable length and medium size blade make it suitable for most paddlers in just about any condition.

The double dihedral blade profile is built around a high density PVC core, which creates this paddle's source of power and control. The dihedral shape on the back-side makes every blade stroke smooth and controlled without any feathering through the water—an essential feature for beginners and expert paddlers alike. The second dihedral profile on the front side provides the blades rigidity and transfers every ounce of power from the paddler to forward motion.

From our Evolution series, the Evolution Carbon paddle is constructed using aerospace grade pre-impregnated 3K carbon with a matte finish. This means that the carbon sheets include the perfect amount of resin, which is hand-pressed into the mold and cured under pressure and heat in an autoclave. This industry-leading process produces carbon structures that are ~30% lighter and stronger than standard carbon alternatives.

Evolution Story

The name 'Evolution' relates to the blade shape we developed that would be our do-it-all paddle. The shape is an evolution of the traditional teardrop shape paddles. We love the forgiveness of the teardrop shape but wanted the performance of a rectangular "racing paddle". So we ended up with a merge of the two shapes known as the Evolution series.

Easy

This paddle is light, stiff, and adjustable. It includes a nice carrying case that fits onto the side of the Honu board bag. The flip lock was super handy for quick adjustments between standing or kneeling in the wind.

Well worth paying a little more for this paddle

The Evolution Carbon paddle is a pleasure to use; lightweight, and well-defined - a good match, in other words, for the Byron SUP.
