Sliver Canoe Paddle
Long and thin, this modified version of a skinny ottertail is a versatile paddle that is great for soloing, style-paddling, as well as tandem and solo tripping. The Sliver is a great paddle for those who have a tendency towards underwater recovery strokes.
The thin and slightly stretched blade does not load the shoulder as much as wider paddles do; this helps to reduce fatigue, while still having ample volume to effectively propel the canoe.
Badger’s signature hand shaped transitional ridge (between the shaft and blade) allows for a strong backbone traveling well into the paddle blade. It then gradually tapers into the blade allowing for uniform flex towards the center. The ridge also creates a smooth flow of water around the blade on the surface allowing for a more smooth and fluid stroke.
