Blade Designs

Epic Mid Wing (Bennett Sprint Model) – is a good all around medium size wing blade for marathon K-1 and distance surf ski racing. It’s also the perfect sprint paddle for women and junior competitors, or those who want to do high performance touring with a wing paddle. Also excellent choice for sprint surf ski paddlers.

Epic Small/Mid Wing (Bennett Angel Wing) - A new addition to Epic wing blades. The same as the mid wing only better suited to ladies and paddlers who prefer less blade area.

Shaft Stiffness Options – Our paddles are available with 2 shaft types to fit your paddling needs.

Medium (Burgundy) Shaft – Our lightest shaft with full carbon fibre construction, good durability and medium flex. This is standard shaft with most carbon touring blades. Not suited to surf paddling as it is not as strong as the hybrid shaft.

Hybrid (Green) Shaft – Carbon fiber / Fiberglass hybrid has slightly more flexibility to absorb shock. This is the standard shaft with most hybrid blades. suited to all paddling conditions.

Care

To prolong the life of your Epic paddle, rinse in fresh water after use and store in its’ cover. If the paddle gets scratched, restore by light sanding and polishing with car wax. Chips can be filled with epoxy. Do not leave your paddle in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Treat your paddle with care for a long life of optimal performance.

Epic Kayaks, Inc. warrants all products to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year from date of purchase. If damage is due to manufacturer’s defect, the paddle will be repaired or replaced by Epic Kayaks, Inc. at no charge. This warranty is void if damage is caused by accident or abuse.

Shaft Configurations

Epic Paddles come with a shaft that is oval in the grip area. This makes for a more natural and less fatiguing grip on the paddle. Because the shaft is oval, the shaft is specifically built to match the feather angle (offset) of the blades.

A). Epic One Piece Paddle

The paddle is pre-assembled to the desired length and feather angle. Standard feather angles are 65 degrees right control. A one-piece paddle is the lightest configuration available and good for those who don’t need the versatility of a break apart paddle.

B). Epic Length-Lock™ Paddle

Adjustable length and feather angle. The Length-Lock™ paddle is fastened in the middle with an easily adjusted lever. To change the paddle length or angle, loosen the lever. Using the calibrated grid, line up the feather angle between the marks, set your length (10cm of adjustment) and tighten the lever. Changing the setting or breaking it down for travel is easier than opening a twist-cap jar.
