Orka Paddles

💥NEW PADDLE SHAFT💥

Engineered using high-quality carbon fibre and fibreglass, our new paddle shafts deliver the ideal balance of low weight, strength and controlled flex.

Featuring a distinctive exposed carbon weave, 👉🏽these shafts combine premium aesthetics with performance-focused construction. The medium-flex profile provides a smooth, forgiving feel through each stroke, helping to absorb peak loading while maintaining efficient power transfer.

The result is a shaft that feels light, responsive and comfortable, making it an excellent choice for paddlers looking for performance without an overly stiff or demanding feel.

Available as an option with all our paddle blades.

Find it in the ORKA Paddling Shop, or online through the link in our bio👆🏽
