Navigator Kayak Paddle, by Bending Branches

The ultimate combination of technology and handcrafted beauty, the Navigator is lightweight, resilient, and buoyant. With the Bending Branches Posi-Lok ferrule. 

• The wood blades on the Navigator are known for their light weight, effortless stroke, durability, and quietness.

• Wooden paddles offer an easy, forgiving stroke. Their natural buoyancy helps lift the blade, while the wood absorbs vibration for a smooth, enjoyable experience. They’re also a perfect match for your wooden boat. 

• Crafted from dense, dark hardwoods, these lightweight blades are durable and shape-retaining. They offer superior, whisper-quiet strokes that significantly outperform plastic.

• The blades are wrapped with Rockgard® tip projection and coated with fiberglass. Both seal the wood and protect it from long-term wear.

• The blade is designed for a natural low-angle stroke. If your forward stroke is generally more horizontal and relaxed, you’ll enjoy this blade shape, as it provides sufficient torque without fatigue.

• The Navigator is an ideal companion for recreational and touring boaters. 

• The shaft has an oval handle shape for ergonomic comfort and will limit the chances of blisters.

• Posi-Lok Ferrule delivers intuitive, dual-button release with a secure connection.

• Carbon Ferrule insert is light and tight. This is an upgrade over standard plastic or glass ferrule inserts.

• Proudly hand-built in Osceola, Wisconsin, USA, by a team of paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts. With a 2-Year Manufacturing Warranty.
