Storm paddle ISIGAA

This storm paddle has based on our ISIGAA paddle design, only its loom is shorter – only two fists wide. has diamond shape and no shoulders. Diamond shape gives more cant and smooth loom to blade transition allows better hand slides during roll. Isigaa is based on the shape and size of a traditional greenland paddle. Blade tips are round and as wide as the blade. Out standard material is western red cedar (Thuja plicata) – lightweight and beautiful wood, which generally does not rot. Pine strips on the loom is our “trade-mark” which adds stiffness to our paddles. As a finish, we oil the paddles with tungoil. Wooden paddle treated with oil feels very natural and warm in your hands. Good grip is guaranteed, even when the paddle is wet.

Historically, storm paddle had the primary use with strong winds: while using full sliding stroke, lower blade is deeply in the water and only little part of the upper blade is exposed to the wind. Today, storm paddles are widely used as a spare paddle. But there is considerable amount of paddles who use storm paddle and sliding stroke for their everyday paddling.

Using our greenland paddle is gentle to your muscles and joints and decreases fatique. It is silent and you put less effort in each stroke. Bracing and rolling are easier than you ever thought they could be.
