The Sprite12-degree is a light-weight entry friendly bent shaft Canoe paddle designed to improved forward efficiency while remaining comfortable and easy to control. This paddle supports smooth cadence, and reduced fatigue.
Classic Outdoors owner Jonas Hildebrandt has used this paddle for years as a north Saskatchewan tripping paddle - It never disapoints! Saving nearly 30% of your energy - thats 7 strokes with this paddle, vs 10 strokes with a comprable straight shaft for the same distance travled on the flat water portion of the trip.
