Why a Greenland Paddle?
Why use a Greenland straight-bladed paddle?
One might wonder why, today in the third millennium, a modern paddler who uses equipment made up of very advanced materials and technological solutions, still has to use a wooden Greenland paddle.
It’s a legitimate question that deserves some answers:
The first reason is that Eskimo Inuit have developed both the kayak and the paddle hand in hand with the same logic and the same priorities.
Years of testing and collaboration with top European paddlers have confirmed the wisdom of ancient Inuit paddle designs.
The most important point is that paddling with a Greenland paddle significantly reduces fatigue compared to using short, wide blades designed for river use or short-term competitions.
The Greenland paddles in wood and with straight blades are still today the best in terms of functionality, resistance to wind, adaptability to the most diverse sudden situations and the most reliable and fastest in the execution of Eskimo techniques, in the supports, in the recovery and rescue.Avatak paddles are Soft in the thrust and pleasant to the touch
A Greenland paddle is an essential navigation tool for the modern kayaker. It offers the perfect blend of traditional design and contemporary technology.
Today’s paddlers appreciate the advanced materials and construction techniques used in making these paddles. At the same time, they value the pure and effective simplicity of a classic Greenland wooden paddle.
This combination of innovation and tradition ensures a superior paddling experience.
Among the Greenland paddles on the market there are of course the mediocre, the fair, the good and the excellent. It is up to the kayaker to choose the paddle that best suits her needs from among these, bearing in mind, however, that as with the kayak, one’s life is entrusted to it.
