Epic Mid Wing Surfski Paddle

A wing paddle is designed to mimic an airplane wing, creating lift as it moves through the water. This shape forces the blade to move outward and backward, which naturally encourages a more efficient, powerful forward stroke compared to the traditional flat-blade design.

The Mid Wing is a versatile, mid-sized blade that balances power and ease of use, making it a great choice for fitness paddlers and racers. While it is highly capable, beginners should be prepared for a slight learning curve as they adjust to the specific catch and exit technique required by wing paddles.

The adjustable ferrule allows you to customize both the overall length of the paddle and the feather angle of the blades. This is particularly useful if you switch between different boat widths or want to adjust your stroke style to account for windy conditions.

Yes, the carbon fiber construction significantly reduces the swing weight of the paddle. Over a long training session or race, this reduction in weight helps minimize muscle fatigue in your shoulders and arms, allowing you to paddle longer and more comfortably.

The choice between round and oval shafts is largely a matter of personal preference and hand comfort. Many paddlers prefer the oval shaft because it provides a tactile reference for the blade angle, helping you maintain proper technique without needing to look down at your hands.
