Optional paddle bags
Compare the two bags below, then choose your preferred option in the paddle selection panel.
Add $40
A padded travel bag for a two-piece or adjustable paddle. Its heavy-duty PVC lining, padded blade separator and rugged binding help protect your paddle in transit.
The bag possesses a carry handle, removable shoulder strap and additional buckle security.
Add $20
A soft, affordable cover made from heavyweight stretch fleece, with an internal blade separator, carry handle and drawcord toggle closure.
The fleece stretches to accommodate paddles slightly longer than the padded option would be able to cater for. Will fit all kayak, dragon boat and outrigger paddles.
Store a clean paddle in your bag and keep sand and grit out to help protect the blade finish and adjustment mechanism.
Blade design
Based on a modified Genesis Evo shape, the Infinity Light delivers a stable catch, solid pull and smooth release. Its softer, lightweight construction is designed to provide flex and be easy on joints.
Please note: This blade is recommended for flatwater use only where bracing is not required. It is not intended for surf or river racing, bracing or unusual loads on the back of the blade. Please choose an Elite or Performance blade for more rigorous use.

Construction
Carbon fibre cloth and epoxy resin are formed in heated machined aluminium moulds to produce a glossy, lightweight blade. The construction prioritises flex and comfortable flatwater paddling rather than bracing or demanding surf use.
