This all HEX-carbon paddle was nicknamed the “liberator” as it allows you the freedom to sprint fast at higher SPMs while still encouraging the “discipline" of correct paddling technique using the body’s core muscles to generate power in the drive as opposed to relying on your arms. The concave blade catches and grabs water exceptionally well, allowing great torque when driving the boat forward to the solidly anchored paddle.

The blade boasts a relatively narrow width and longer length which allows for a deep strong catch while keeping the blade nearer to the hull. This allows a more centered, compressed and efficient “stacking" of the upper hand on the paddle. The squared off blade shape allows you to closely run the paddle right along the edge of the boat, while the flat flange allows for easier V1 ruddering. It also features an all-carbon, oval shaft that provides rigidity and incredible strength for its weight. Further strength extends from the shaft to the T-bar handle, as it is simply a molded one piece (ie; not joined or glued).

Liberator mind-set: Keeping your form, firing your core, generating great torque from deeper catches, and driving the canoe forward to the paddle with your entire body. Reach - Catch - Sit-up – Repeat. The HYPR Liberator offers the freedom to follow this rapid-fire cadence… at higher SPMs. Speed freaks, you’ve may have just met your match.
