QUICKBLADE ONO AVA Outrigger Paddle
Best stable outrigger paddle for paddlers navigating windy or choppy conditions.
This paddle prioritizes a forgiving, buttery-smooth catch, making it an ideal choice for choppy water or long-distance sessions. While the wood shaft offers a classic, lively flex that carbon can’t replicate, you sacrifice the ultra-lightweight rigidity found in high-end racing paddles for a more soulful, connected feel.
$399.00
