Paddles

Grey Owl logo
At Grey Owl, years of research, development and innovative ideas meet with engineering excellence to bring the most advanced wooden paddles available. They lead the industry with features such as uniquely laminated exotic woods, models with urethane plastic tips and edging where you need it. The respect for the past has led them to retain hiddden plastic inserts in the tips of the one-piece wooden paddles.

Durable, lightweight, stiff and sleek describe the new Grey Owl composites. They evolved from the successful wooden line and compliment rather than displace the legendary wooden models.

Whether you are a serious racer, week-end warrior, guide, novice or seasoned tripper, Grey Owl has a model that will excite your paddling sensibilities and satisfy your boating needs.

Kayak Paddles

Traditional Paddles

These paddles are distinguished by their long slender blades and overall resilience. The blade is scaled to the shaft and gets larger as the shaft length increases. Generally speaking, larger blades are more suitable for steering, while the smaller blades lend themselves to solo paddling.

Recreational Paddles

Grey Owl’s recreational paddles are characterized by the multi-laminated designs of contrasting woods and blades that remain constant in size throughout different lengths.
Because of their design they tend to have a stiffer flex than the traditional models.
In general, the stiffer the paddle, the more effecient it becomes, but some of the comfort found in paddling with a softer flex is sacrificed. This line of paddles is shorter and wider and offers the widest range of canoeing applications. Whether you paddle on entry level flatwater, moving water, wilderness rivers, whitewater, or in freestyle competitions, Grey Owl has the paddle shape and size to fit your needs.
