That double bend is the defining feature here: it keeps both wrists in a more natural, aligned position throughout the stroke, reducing the cumulative strain that adds up on multi-day canoe trips or high-mileage paddling days. For paddlers who've dealt with wrist discomfort from conventional paddle geometry, the Viper's ergonomic design is worth paying attention to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaft is handcrafted from 18-laminate basswood, a construction that balances durability with reasonable weight and gives the paddle a warm, comfortable feel in hand. The blade combines basswood and roasted basswood for a classic wood aesthetic, and at 128.5 sq. in. it moves serious water with each stroke. A 4 oz. fibreglass wrap and full Rockgard edge protection mean this blade is genuinely built to last through the kind of rocky Canadian canoe country where paddles take their share of abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved palm grip complements the double bend geometry, keeping your top hand relaxed and reducing tension during long paddling efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft: 18-laminate basswood, double bend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade: Basswood and roasted basswood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade size: 8.7 x 19 in.
