QUALITY MATERIALS
It is
important to us that every component of your paddle is made of high quality
materials – after all, we want to be able to provide our customers with a
paddle that is worth owning – one that we, ourselves, would want to own. Take
for instance, the Western Red Cedar that we use in every model. Our supplier is
very particular about the kiln drying process – making every effort to not
overheat or speed the process along too quickly - thereby, helping to prevent
the wood from warping.
HARDWOODS CHOSEN FOR STRENGTH
AND DURABILITY
Your
paddle is worth protecting – after all it can be rough out there sometimes. So,
with that in mind, we have designed our paddles to have an "armor" of hardwood to give added protection. Every paddle has hardwood tips, and all, but the Rosario, has hardwood edges.
We choose hardwoods that are both strong and durable without adding too much to
the overall weight of the paddle. Our hardwoods of choice currently include
cherry, ash, and maple.
