Named after the brand from which it was born, the Cataract Blade is a strong and reliable choice for any rowing application, from fishing to whitewater. A moderately thick cross-section allows this paddle to slice into the water, and the teardrop-style shape allows you to pull with power when you need to or feather your stroke for precise maneuvering. And standing as the most buoyant blade in it's class, this blade is nicknamed, the floater, and helps you get through long days, or weeks, on the river.
