This is my biggest kayak blade
at 19" long and 7 3/4" wide. It was originally developed for speed cruising
in wildwater, Wavehopper, or any big fast boats -- in lengths around 217cm. It's asymmetrical (the fatter half enters the water first), Trik Style
,and huge for applications where you want the blade to stick more than pull through the water -- but still quite releasable
. It also applies in shorter lengths to cruising and creeking
scenarios where you want a lot of grip in shallow waters or a lot of support for braces and rolls. It has a well rounded tip to avoid corner wear and to minimize blade spin on Duffeks. In its
ideal form, it's a smooth releasable wildwater blade. Upper edgings
are a beautiful curly maple and lower edgings are durable dynel. |
