	MOHAWK  Bent shaft
	MOHAWK 8 Pear grip
	MOHAWK 8   "T" grip

The Mohawk paddle is constructed with a high impact plastic blade and grip and anodized aluminum shaft. It combines performance, durability and no maintenance at a reasonable price. The Mohawk paddle with the 8” x 20” blade is available in a “T” or pear grip. (See price list). We believe the shaft diameter of 1-1/8” is the most comfortable size for most hands. A plastic shaft grip eliminates the problem of aluminum oxide “rub-off” and cold hands in cool weather. The 8” wide paddle is lightweight (a 54” paddle weighs approx. 28oz and floats horizontally in the water).

Kayak paddle materials are the same as used in our standard canoe paddle. The blades are 8”wide, feathered or unfeathered. Our 2-piece kayak paddle connection is both simple and durable. The feathered option is at an 80° angle, right-hand control.

Our bent shaft paddle features an extremely comfortable contoured pear grip that is modeled after grips usually found only on top-of-the-line competition paddles. It has the same blade, shaft and shaft grip described above. The bend at the very upper part of the blade, is 12°. Our bent shaft paddle is one of the best, low -priced paddles of this type available and is ideal for testing the advantages of a bent shaft paddle at an economical price.

PROPER PADDLE LENGTH

To determine proper paddle length, sit in the canoe seat and place the blade completely in the water. The  top of the grip should be at shoulder level. When you “push” the top of the paddle, your arm will be horizontal with the water. As you can see body trunk size, not overall height is the determining factor. If you compare trunk sizes you will find there is not much difference from one person to the next. Probably 90% of all adults can use a 54” paddle with a 20” long blade. A longer or shorter blade will change the overall length of the paddle by the amount the blade length varies. We believe that paddles with length determined as above, are proper for recreational cruising or racing. Whitewater paddlers, however, may want a little longer paddle for various whitewater maneuvers.

COMPARING PADDLE BLADES

Tapered Blade vs. non Tapered Blade

Notice that in the above illustration Mohawk Paddle blades have a taper from the bottom of the blade to the throat (top of blade). There is a tremendous difference in the feel of a tapered and a non-tapered blade as the tapered blade slides out of the water so much easier.
