Cedar Paddles

At Sawyer, we know about wood. Our Cedar series paddles are as durable as their cousins in our main line, yet they are even lighter and they are stunning! Why? Because our elegant Cedar paddles are Sawyer Laminatedtm, Sawyer Glassedtm and Tough Edgedtm with Dynelltm, encasing and protecting them from unlucky collisions with rocks and other hard things. Pick up a Sawyer Cedar paddle; you’ll be amazed! Use one and you’ll be delighted.
