MISTRAL SUP Paddle Carbon FC GOLD EDITION 1-piece

The Gold paddles features classic tear drop blade shape and offer the dedicated paddler the best possible bite, feel and power of any paddle on the market. This is a time proven shape which is a favorite amongst many paddlers, for their simplicity and ease of use, delivering light, clean, powerful strokes with ever entry and catch taken.

Used by Steve Teihotaata, to win both the 11 Cities and the Air France Paddle Festival in Tahiti, it is his preferred paddle, not because sponosrs demand he uses them, but out of a love of how the blades perform. The blade face itself is clean, with a marginal central dihydral running three quarters the way down the blade face. The blade tip is marginally 'lipped' for clean entry and there is a shallow concave in the lower portion to assist with cupping and holding the blade firm in the early phase of the catch. Thin blade edges reinforced with PVC, make for a super clean entry and a 'zinghy' feel. The shaft offers marginal recoil making for an encouraging exit and recovery phase of the stroke.
