Wind Swift 230cm Kayak Paddle
Have you noticed that many Aleut paddles are long and narrow? This is not due to material limitations, but because Eskimos often paddled in high wind conditions. The so dubbed Wind Swift combines Aleut features with some more modern European concepts to create a paddle that is excellent in high winds and still delivers a healthy amount of paddle power for all but the most demanding conditions. Another major advantage to this style of paddle is kindness to joints and muscles. If you do not paddle frequently or already have joint and muscle issues, you will love how you feel after a day of paddling with the Wind Swift.
The new Feather Lock Ferrule System allows precise feathering changes in 15 degree increments: 0°, 45°, 60°, and 75° angles are highlighted for you on both the right and left sides. The Feather Lock collar is low profile and its protected, external configuration makes for easy cleaning and reduces the possibility of jamming. When closed there is no play in the joint and no doubt about the angle you have chosen.
