Description
Bending Branches Horizon Canoe Paddle
The Bending Branches Horizon is built for paddlers who demand lightweight performance without sacrificing durability on rugged backcountry and expedition routes. Designed specifically for Class I-III whitewater and expeditionary trips, the Horizon combines lightweight composite construction with advanced edge protection to handle demanding conditions.
Built for Expedition Use
The Horizon is designed to withstand the abuse associated with rugged wilderness travel and whitewater paddling. Its lightweight construction keeps the paddle responsive and easy to handle, while its reinforced blade and Lam-Lok™ edge protection provide added durability against impacts and abrasion.
Lam-Lok™ Edge Protection
Lam-Lok™ is designed to resist delamination, impact and abrasion along the blade edge. This provides additional protection in environments where paddles regularly come into contact with rocks, shorelines and other obstacles.
Lightweight Carbon Shaft
The 100% carbon shaft helps keep the Horizon lightweight at just 23 oz while providing the stiffness and responsiveness expected from a high-performance composite paddle.
Fiberglass & Aramid Blade
The blade is made from compression-molded fiberglass reinforced with Aramid. Its 127.5 square inch surface area provides substantial power for moving water while maintaining a manageable overall weight.
Carbon Blade Peg
A carbon blade peg adds strength to the paddle while providing a smooth feel during use.
Comfortable Hooked T-Grip
The hooked, shatter-resistant plastic T-grip provides secure control and comfortable handling, allowing paddlers to make precise adjustments while navigating moving water.
