The Java premium canoe paddle is hand-crafted in Osceola, Wisconsin. It has a strong solid basswood shaft and an eye-popping “pinstriped” blade of basswood and dark, roasted basswood that you have to see to believe. The blade has a 2 oz. fiberglass wrap and full Rockgard® edge protection to safeguard its beauty and performance. The Java’s shaft is made of solid, ovalized Basswood, so it's durable but not excessive in weight. With its classic palm grip, the Java is easy to hold, comfortable, and warm. The overall design of this new paddle makes the Java light, durable, and distinctive. It will make you the envy of other canoeists. The Java 11 has an 11° bend in the shaft. The Java 11 is available in lengths ranging from 48 inches to 54 inches (in 2-inch increments). BLADE SIZE: 8.1 x 19 in. SURFACE AREA: 118 sq. in. BLADE: Roasted Basswood PROTECTION: Full Rockgard®, 2 oz. Fiberglass SHAFT: 11° Bent MATERIAL: Solid Basswood Ovalized for Comfort Classic Palm Grip WEIGHT: 19 oz. WEIGHT VARIATION Due to the varied density of wood, all canoe paddles could have a +/– 10% variance in weight. Paddle weight is based on 54 inch measurements for straight shafts and 50 inch measurements for bent shafts. Upgraded look, 2 oz. fiberglass wrap covering the blade. Shipping Note for Paddles We ship paddles at the minimum rate the carriers charge us — no padding, no markup. Long, lightweight items like paddles fall into an “oversize” category with every carrier, which bumps the cost up a bit. We know it’s not ideal, but the product is worth it, and we do everything we can to keep the rate as low as possible. If you have any questions or want to combine items to save on shipping, we’re always here to help.
