For over 30 years, the Nordkapp shape has been the top choice of expedition paddlers. The full-sized blade offers ample power - just what is needed for breaking out through surf or for battling an unfavorable tide.

  • The definitive expedition blade, also suitable for ocean play, fitness training, and distance paddling.
  • Softer catch protects muscles and joints from fatigue on high-mileage days with a loaded kayak
  • Best suited to larger, fitter paddlers
