The shaft is a carefully selected piece of solid bamboo with a beautiful hand finish. Our bamboo's long, continuous fibers and natural medium/stiff flex result in an extremely responsive paddle. This makes braces, draws, and other advanced strokes feel like second nature while putting less stress on your body. All Grass Sticks products are backed by our unlimited 2-year warranty and 30-day return guarantee.

Blade material: Carbon/Kevlar, available in red. This material provides increased strength, excellent durability, and abrasion resistance in shallow rocky rivers or big water. In our testing, these bomber blades were three times stronger than fiberglass. The blade surface area is 125 sq. in. Our slightly spooned blade allows for more powerful strokes and maximizes leverage.

Sizing for Guide Sticks: Guide Stick length selection is based on many factors, such as your paddling style, the height of your raft tubes, torso size, etc. Your length should be based on personal preference and your specific use, so it's tough for us to provide a size chart or a recommendation. We recommend you measure a paddle you use as a reference point and go from there.
