Notes:
Lendal has developed a new paddle using titanium alloy tubes for our connectors. Titanium is impervious to salt water corrosion, is extremely tough, and works well with carbon fiber. Traditional Lendal connector tubes (spigots) are carbon. To make the expanding Paddlok system work these need to be slotted to create a snug connection. Machine a slot and you create stress risers; by choosing titanium we eliminate the need for slots as the material is flexible by nature. Great engineering is about using the best materials for various applications. There’s a reason the lugs on a carbon fiber race bike are titanium. Use of titanium spigots means a paddle of equal weight that’s stronger and more durable.
Based on feedback from world-class paddlers, Lendal shafts feature a bio-engineered grip that is formed directly into the shaft reducing hand fatigue and increasing hand comfort. Two grip profiles accommodate paddlers with smaller and larger hands along with straight and modified crankshaft versions. The elegance and feel of the shaft is simply superior to anything out there.
