Grey Owl Sprite

Not all paddle shafts are straight, and many performance paddlers will benefit from an angled shaft to align the blade face with the direction of the stroke. The flat power face of the paddle sits at an optimum 12 degrees, providing more efficient power to the stroke in real-world conditions. This feature is not only advantageous for racers but also for canoeists seeking to reach destinations quicker or cover more miles on a day out.


The Grey Owl Sprite paddle is versatile, suitable for use by canoeists in the traditional kneeling position as well as by sit-and-switch or pack boat users. Crafted from laminated basswood, it offers a stiff flex and a satisfying feel to the stroke. The Sprite also includes an epoxy-reinforced tip for enhanced protection and durability.
