Description
A traditional Greenland-style wooden paddle for touring and rolling — a simple, proven shape that brings you back to the roots of sea kayaking.
This model is based on a traditional paddle from West Greenland. It has an oval shaft and clearly defined shoulders where the loom transitions into the blades.
The blades’ oval profile makes them a little quieter in the water than the diamond-shaped East Greenland style. Those pronounced shoulders also give you a natural reference point for hand placement, especially helpful when you’re practising rolls or paddling by feel in rougher water.
NANOOK is made from Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) — a light, good-looking timber that suits long days on the water. The shaft is reinforced with pine inserts to add stiffness. The paddle is finished with Chinese tung oil, protecting the wood while giving a comfortable, secure grip.
Paddling with a Greenland paddle is kind to muscles and joints. The long, narrow blade enters and exits cleanly, moves quietly through the water, and isn’t as affected by wind as broader blades.
