Description
Grey Owl's Chieftain Canoe Paddle is the finest all-around solo oiled paddle. Crafted from choice black cherry, this paddle features a medium flex, a rugby ball-shaped grip, and an oval shaft for comfort. Its cambered blade has very fine edges and a hidden plastic tip insert, making it the perfect choice for deep water paddling. With a linseed oil finish for the ultimate in aesthetics and performance. This truly classic paddle balances timeless design and elegance, providing the nicest feel and truly enjoying the canoeing experience.
Traditional Paddles
These paddles are distinguished by their long slender blades and overall resilience. Originally carved from one piece of wood from a small tree, cedar and basswood were prized because of their light weight while ash, maple and cherry were chosen for strength and durability. Cherry was especially preferred for its resistance to rot and warping along with being relatively light in weight.
Though not the easiest paddles to use in depths below 12", one can learn to manage quite well with a sweep stroke. All basic strokes such as the J and C strokes, along with draw, pry and feather strokes evolved from this type of paddle.
No other paddle can give you the enjoyment and feel of cruising like a traditional paddle. The blade width area is more than adequate to manoeuvre your canoe so pick the model that appeals to your price range, usage and aesthetics.
