Bent Shaft Paddles
Bentshaft Cruiser (BS8) Leveraging the superior design and incredible durability of the Sawyer Cruiser, we’ve combined history and modern design by adding a 15o bend in the shaft. The super light swing weight reduces fatigue; the bent shaft delivers more of your energy toward forward motion. The combination of these benefits equals a great choice for high speed cruisers as well as long range paddling. Shaft Dim: 11/8" x 1 1/4" oval. Blade Dim: 8" x 21". Grip Dim: 11/2" x 4 1/2" Unigriptm . Avg. Wt: 20 oz. Egret (MBS) Stability, comfort, efficiency... the watchwords of the Sawyer Egret. The Egret takes the best features of the Sawyer Voyager and adds a 15o bend in the shaft for hours of energy efficient paddling. Durability accents stability in the carved Sawyer-Glassedtm Ponderosa pine, walnut and ash blade with a solid fiberglass tip. Comfort is aided by the curled palm grip, which allows an even spread of pressure across the strongest part of your hand. Shaft Dim: 11/8" x 1 1/4" oval. Blade Dim: 8" x 20" carved. Grip Dim: 4" curled palm. Avg. Wt: 22 oz. Manta (MBDS) Effortlessly gliding through the water, like the unmistakable image of its namesake, Sawyer’s Manta furnishes a natural answer for the serious or recreational paddler. The Manta’s double bend shaft eases the flex on the lower wrist while the "catch" of the double scoop dihedral blade delivers more of your power to the water. Whether paddling across an ocean channel in an outrigger or cruising through your favorite chain of lakes, the Manta offers a powerful solution. Shaft Dim: 1 1/8" x 1 1/4" Outrigger style, dual bend. Blade Dim: 8 3/4" x 20" carved double scoop teardrop w/dihedral face. Grip Dim: 1 1/4"" x 4" thumb notched HOT DOG ‘T’. Avg. Wt: 23 oz. Ergo Quadtm (MBQ) Sawyers Ergo Quadtm is ergonomically designed to offer a natural, stress free alignment of the lower wrist. No pulling against a flexed wrist, as with conventional canoe paddles. The angled, drop back low grip area also adjusts the center of force for better stability, leverage and blade control. This unique 4 bend oval shaft results in an 11o, or optional 15o, overall blade angle. Shaft Dim: 11/8" x 1 1/4" oval Blade Dim: Carved 8" x 20" soft shoulder. Grip Dim: 4" curled palm. Avg. Wt: 25 oz. Bentshaft Special (BSSP-FG) Sawyer’s Bentshaft Special offers an entry level price while delivering an advantage typically found in up market choices. By advancing the angle of the shaft, the blade is maintained in a vertical position during the power phase of the stroke, resulting in more forward bang for your energy buck! A dual tapered mult- laminated Ponderosa pine and Douglas fir shaft, solid fiberglass tipped and Sawyer-Glassedtm Ponderosa pine blade ensure years of enjoyable paddling. Shaft Dim: 11/8" x 11/4" oval. Blade Dim: 8" x 21". Grip Dim: 11/2" x 4 1/2" Unigriptm.. Avg. Wt: 22 oz.
