The beavertail is one of canoeing's most trusted blade shapes, and Halliburton Paddle Shop's Trailhead Beavertail Cherry Paddle is a worthy standard-bearer of that tradition. Handcrafted from a single, carefully selected piece of cherry hardwood, this all-round paddle is built for wherever the water takes you, whether that's a glassy lake at sunrise, a winding river, or a week-long wilderness tripping route. The wide beavertail blade delivers powerful, confident strokes while giving you the control to place them exactly where you want. Unlike rigid synthetic paddles, the natural flex of the cherry wood absorbs stroke impact stroke after stroke, keeping your shoulders and joints happy on long days on the water. Finished by hand with hemp oil, each paddle is as easy to maintain as it is beautiful to look at. And since no two pieces of wood are ever the same, the paddle you receive is genuinely one of a kind, its grain shaped by nature and refined by the hands that made it. Some gear is just equipment. This one's a little more than that.
