Introducing the Quickblade Stingray paddle, a groundbreaking innovation set to redefine the standards of paddling efficiency. This revolutionary paddle, with its uniquely short 10-inch (25 cm) blade—half the length of traditional paddles—dramatically decreases catch and exit times by 50%. This design allows paddlers to execute quicker and more efficient strokes, enhancing overall performance.
The Quickblade Stingray features a compact blade design that positions the center area just 3.5 inches from the tip, enabling a distinctly snappy catch and quick release. This unique configuration empowers paddlers with an exceptionally responsive feel during each stroke.
The blade's slender, foiled shape is set at a 12-degree angle to the shaft, engineered to create a "winged" effect as it enters the water. This innovative feature propels the paddle forward during the power phase of the stroke and similarly assists in propelling it forward as it exits the water, ensuring a smooth and powerful continuation of each stroke.
To optimize the blade's "winged" foil effect, Quickblade has developed a special, unique all-carbon shaft that tapers at both ends. This design minimizes drag and adds a slight flex at the top near the handle, while maintaining a slight oval shape for a secure grip with the lower hand.
The Quickblade Stingray is equipped with a comfortable hollow carbon palm grip, which comes standard. Alternatively, customers can opt for a custom carbon T-handle to suit their preferences.
