Item #: 70880

Our Price: $279.95


 

If you are looking for beauty combined with unsurpassed fit, finish and durability in a lightweight kayak paddle that flexes to meet your paddling style check out this stick! In the Navigator, Bending Branches has combined high-tech, ultra lightweight, T-700 carbon shaft material with a proven blade design made out of rich-looking black willow wood.

    Comments about Bending Branches Navigator Wood Kayak Paddle:

    This paddle seems to be a perfect match to my Placidboats Spitfire solo canoe. Not only is it a joy to paddle with it, its combination of carbon fiber shaft and finely crafted wooden paddles matches the canoe's beautiful design features. Lower paddle faces are protected with a fiberglass strip that should help ensure long paddle life. Best of all, paddle was $30 cheaper at Campmor than any other place I could find it.

      Comments about Bending Branches Navigator Wood Kayak Paddle:

      nice paddle, but campmor doesn't know how to package it. had to reseal the tips, because they were damaged alittle. too much trouble to send back. purchase the same item for my wife, [...]. paddle is not good for deep power strokes, but sweeping, touring strokes.

      • Q:

        The description indicates a two piece shaft. Do the paddle blades come off the shaft too? (i.e. does it break down into four pieces?)

          A:

          The shaft separates in the center of the shaft span. The blades stay attached.
