Designed especially for use with our Solitaire canoe (but also a good choice for kayaks), the Wayfarer paddle features 8 liminates of solid Cherry for great strength while retaining a subtle flex to help propel you through the water. The blades feature a gentle cup to help grab the water and the shoulders help water run off the blade, keeping you drier in the boat. The Wayfarer paddle is 8' long tip to tip, and finished with teak oil for a fantastic feel in the hands.
