The Stellar Tempo paddle is a High Angle style blade, great for fitness paddling and narrower boats. The Tempo is designed for those paddlers with a steeper catch angle and a tight catch to the boat. This high angle style of stroke is more efficient for propulsion, concentrating more of your force in a forward direction compared to a low angle design. The blade tip is rounded for a solid clean catch at varying angles. The blades are designed with minimal dihedral, allowing for easy feathering and control strokes. Sized perfectly for a full day of kayaking and control in varying conditions. The tempo comes standard with a tension adjustable cam, allowing for 10cm of length adjustment and any feather angle. The round shaft settles comfortably into your hand and the carbon/fiberglass laminate is lightweight, with an ideal blend of stiffness and flex, while looking great.Description:Stiff and lightweight solid Carbon blade and reinforced tip.
