FoxWorx Bent shaft canoe paddles

Bent shaft paddles are more efficient than straight shaft paddles because the blade stays at a better angle to the water giving the paddler more power. Bent shaft paddle length is usually 2-3 inches shorter than a straight paddle so they are easier on paddler's shoulders. Our bent paddles use an oval basswood shaft that range from a 10 to 14 degree bend or can be custom ordered. The blades are protected with fiberglass or carbon cloth and either hardwood or composite edges and tips. They have a great feel, balance and catch and make a long day of paddling much easier.
