Why ETHA-lite Foam Core?

At the heart of every Segla Gear paddle lies the ETHA-lite Foam Core — engineered for precision, performance, and purpose.

Unlike traditional foam, ETHA-lite is a next-generation, closed-cell core designed to optimize every stroke. It’s incredibly lightweight, yet exceptionally strong, creating a perfect balance between flex and stiffness. This means better energy transfer, reduced fatigue, and unmatched responsiveness in any water condition.

ETHA-lite also offers superior impact resistance and zero water absorption, making your blade more durable, more reliable, and longer-lasting — even in the harshest environments.

Whether you're exploring coastal currents or charging through rock gardens, ETHA-lite gives your blade its signature feel: light, tough, and effortlessly powerful.
