The Element Paddle combines a virtually indestructible nylon blade with the same high-quality carbon composite shaft. The carbon shaft not only makes the paddle lighter and stronger, it features a flex pattern that is easier on the paddler and more responsive in the water, making it easy for beginners to become confident paddlers. The reinforced nylon blade is the most durable blade type available and will stand up to the harshest treatment. Reinforcing ribs run from the shaft connection down the center to produce a strong and responsive blade. Like all Honu products, the Element Paddle is designed to last and isn't a throw-away entry-level paddle often found in the market. Long after paddlers decide to upgrade to a higher performance carbon blade, the Element remains a reliable back-up option.
