Respective to your paddling style and usage you can configure your FORTIS-C with a fixed or adjustable lightweight carbon shaft of your preferred stiffness - soft, medium or hard.
The ABS rail protects the paddle from mechanical damage - hitting rocks, board sides, other dangerous objects on your way ahead while paddling the favorite route or a race.
Construction and materials
FORTIS-C is made out of carbon fiber reinforced Obeche wood core, to grant the necessary lightweight, mechanical properties and advantages of wood over other core materials, simultaneously providing high stiffness due to carbon reinforcement. The blade is carbon-laminated. And of course - the ABS rail to prevent damages and to protect the blade is there as well. With these materials, you can expect the weight of the complete paddles as shown in the specification tables.
For individual design, there are almost no limitations for the chosen wood, finish or other specifications. Just feel free to ask us!*
