Our patented Paddlok system gives a four-piece paddle a onepiece feel, and the versatility and convenience of separate shaft and blade components when it matters. Once the Paddlok button is tightened with the Paddlok key, the joint between each piece is locked into place. Storage is simple. Travel is painless. And maintenance is effortless—trapped grit won’t grind the joint, prolonging the life of the paddle. Adjustments can be made with nothing more than the Paddlok key. How revolutionary is that?

Notes:
Lendal has developed a new paddle using titanium alloy tubes for our connectors. Titanium is impervious to salt water corrosion, is extremely tough, and works well with carbon fiber. Traditional Lendal connector tubes (spigots) are carbon. To make the expanding Paddlok system work these need to be slotted to create a snug connection. Machine a slot and you create stress risers; by choosing titanium we eliminate the need for slots as the material is flexible by nature. Great engineering is about using the best materials for various applications. There’s a reason the lugs on a carbon fiber race bike are titanium. Use of titanium spigots means a paddle of equal weight that’s stronger and more durable.
Based on feedback from world-class paddlers, Lendal shafts feature a bio-engineered grip that is formed directly into the shaft reducing hand fatigue and increasing hand comfort. Two grip profiles accommodate paddlers with smaller and larger hands along with straight and modified crankshaft versions. The elegance and feel of the shaft is simply superior to anything out there.
The Sea Breeze is a perfect match for the flat-water paddler. This elegant dihedral blade shape will delight those in pack boats and wider kayaks. With a smaller surface area than the Ocean Spirit, the Sea Breeze will appeal to those looking for a more forgiving, lightweight paddle that nevertheless performs efficiently over long periods out on the water.

The Ocean Spirit is an asymmetric dihedral blade shape with broad appeal. For the paddler wanting to handle distance, the Ocean Spirit can be controlled with ease. In rougher water the angular catch of the blade produces a positive grip, allowing for predictable and flutter-free strokes.

For the XRANGE blade series Lendal NA took the ultra-popular Lendal Kinetik Touring blade and eliminated the center rib in favor of a foam-filled foiled back face. As Neil Baxter, world champion kayaker and designer of the Kinetik blade shape states: “Even at the same weight, a foiled foam-filled blade will feel lighter on the water due to its buoyancy. The paddle feels smoother while transitioning between strokes, locates better for rolls and braces, and has excellent stiffness.” One thing we didn’t mess with: the Kinetik’s proven, power face geometry. The XRANGE has it. And then some.
The Kinetik Touring 650 blades have proven to be the most popular of the XRANGE. These blades are the perfect solution for efficient long distance paddling. This blade has the catch and feel of a true rough water blade with the proficiency of a long distance touring paddle.

All the proven performance of the Kinetik XRange Paddles with an infusion of cutting edge technology to increase the paddles overall strength. Notes:
The XRANGE Kinetik Touring 700 blades are larger mid-sized blades perfect as an all-round paddle for the medium to large paddler, or an aggressive surf blade for the smaller paddler.
The Kinetik Power is designed to give a positive and powerful stroke. Taken from the original profile of the classic Kinetik slalom blades used by Olympic champions, this shape has been tested from the Zambezi to the Grand Canyon by worldclass paddlers. Now available in two sizes, Regular and Extreme. • Built with Lendal’s customized whitewater lay-up

Notes:
The Rebel blade is a large powerface paddle for the most demanding paddlers. The unique scalloped bottom edge allows the paddler to place the blade close to the boat with ease promoting a more powerful vertical stroke. This blade can be handy in tight places where keeping the paddle in close proximity to the kayak can drastically effect the manuevering of the boat. • Built with Lendal’s customized whitewater layup

The Cutback is the brainchild of world champion kayak surfer Neil Baxter. This design has won medals in both men’s and women’s surf categories over the last 10 years. This blade has been proven to work in all major surf breaks around the world. Whether you’re a novice surfer or a fierce competitor the Cutback will perform beautifully.
