Ainsworth N104 Sidekick Paddle (R/H)

Ainsworth use a tough nylon-glassfibre composite construction for superb durability and performance to give a strong, ‘all round’ paddle. Launched in 2006, the material yields 260 Mpa tensile strength - that’s over double the strength of the nylon 12 used in many other nylon paddles. Ainsworth’s Nylon blade is much stiffer than any other nylon paddles. The shaft is pressed into the blades with hydraulic pressure to a depth of 10cm, ensuring a watertight joint and a continuous feel from shaft to blade tip. The high strength of the material means that the blade can be made lighter.

A straight titanium enriched corrosion resistant 28mm diameter alloy shaft especially selected for paddling use.

The grip is a shrink PVC coating,  including an index on the control side ( right hand ) to give positive blade positioning , especially helpful when setting up for a roll.
