Sawyer Quick-Draw RIP – Sawyer Paddles
The carbon Sawyer Quick-Draw RIP paddle will fit every paddler. Its a tough but light high performance carbon and wood paddle that is adjustable from 72â€-90â€. At only 28 ounces, the paddle can fit virtually anyone because of it’s compatible nature. Blades are a bit more narrow and longer than most which makes them very smooth pulling through the water. Dihedral back for steady smooth, flutter free power phase. The blade is designed with multi-laminated wood with Dynel edge and glass for durability. Perfect for all uses, you have options between .95 sq in (7.375" x 16.875") or 105 sq in (8" x 17.75") blade size depending upon your weight. It features lightweight carbon fiber technology, a powerful blade design, and an “on the fly†adjustable length shaft. The locking mechanism is made of a plastic clamp-like feature (which doesn’t rust, of course) that tightens and loosens a fitting between the inner and outer carbon fiber shafts. It’s quick to release and minimize the paddle length for storage or for a smaller paddler. There are other adjustable carbon fiber SUP paddles on the market, but most all of them use the little metallic buttons on an inner shaft that pop thru a series of holes in the outer shaft. The issues with those is that they rust with use, mostly after ocean use if not rinsed when you get out.
