Here at NorthShore Watersports, we’ve taken a look at what they offer so you can make an informed decision when choosing your new paddle.

Open Canoe Paddles

Finding the right canoe paddles is important for ensuring optimum performance and control while you’re out on the water. There are a few things to look out for in a paddle when choosing the right one for you, such as balance, weight, length and material. If you’re out on the water for an extended period of time, a lighter paddle can make all the difference to your stamina and agility by reducing arm fatigue. With this considered, Robson canoe paddles made the perfect choice. With a collection of designs that feature fibreglass shafts and special FlowTech blades, Robson paddles are created to find the exact balance of durable and lightweight, allowing you to enjoy a smooth glide and maximise your time on the water.

Created using lightweight but hard-wearing materials such as fibreglass and strong carbon on some shafts and blades, they’re designed to offer you a sturdy and controlled experience in the water. One great thing about Robson paddles is that they cater to a range of whitewater activities. From large, down-turned blades which allow for optimum power in the water, to versatile mid-sized blades ideal for playboating or creeking, Robson whitewater kayak paddles can be chosen to suit any venture you have planned.
