A Hybrid Greenland Paddle Built for the Open Sea

The Narwhal is where traditional Greenland paddle design meets modern composite engineering. Designed for sea kayakers who want the low-angle efficiency and wrist-friendly cadence of a Greenland blade — without sacrificing durability or feel — the Narwhal delivers a paddle that works with you across long crossings, tidal races, and everything in between.

Blade Shape & Feel

The Narwhal's blade follows classic Greenland geometry: narrow, elongated, and shoulderless, with a smooth fluent transition from shaft to blade. At 780 cm² of blade surface, it generates a soft, progressive catch that reduces joint strain on multi-day tours. The shoulderless straight shaft means your hands can slide freely along the loom — a technique central to Greenland rolling and low-brace recovery strokes. The Aeroglass Fiber construction gives the blade a lively, slightly flexible feel that absorbs shock on the catch and returns energy through the exit.

Construction & Weight

The blades are built from Aeroglass Fiber over an Etha-lite Foam Core — a combination that makes the Narwhal exceptionally buoyant in the water. The foam core keeps the blade from sinking between strokes, reducing fatigue and making sculling and rolling support strokes feel effortless. A Hydrophobic Nano Coating sheds water cleanly off the blade face, and replaceable ABS-PC rock tips protect the tips from beach landings and rocky put-ins. Total weight: 832 g at 220 cm.

Length & Sizing

Available in 220 cm, the Narwhal suits paddlers of average to tall height (roughly 170–190 cm) using a low-angle Greenland stroke. If you're unsure, a good starting point is to stand with your arm raised — the paddle tip should reach your wrist. The 29 mm shaft diameter fits most hand sizes comfortably, and the Phantom Push Connection system allows quick, tool-free feathering adjustment between strokes.

Intended Use

The Narwhal is at home on sea kayaking expeditions, coastal touring, and Greenland-style rolling practice. Its shoulderless loom makes it ideal for paddlers learning or refining traditional Greenland technique — layback rolls, storm rolls, and sculling braces all benefit from the ability to slide your grip freely. It also excels as a touring paddle for paddlers who prefer a relaxed, low-cadence stroke over long distances.

Who It Suits

• Sea kayakers on multi-day coastal or open-water tours
• Greenland rolling enthusiasts developing or refining their roll repertoire
• Touring paddlers transitioning from Euro blades who want less shoulder strain
• Intermediate to advanced paddlers comfortable with a sliding grip technique
