Description
GREENLAND paddle NANOOK KID is based on the shape and size of a traditional East Greenland oar. Nanook in Greenland means polar bear
We have 3 sizes (180, 190 and 200cm) of greenland paddles for kids. All these four paddles are similar to our greenland paddle NANOOK, only decreased proportionally. It means they have thinner loom and narrower blades, suitable for smaller hands.
NANOOK paddle is based on the shape and size of a traditional west-greenland paddle. It has mild “shoulders” on transition from loom (shaft) to blades. Blade tips are round and as wide as the blade. Out standard material is western red cedar (Thuja plicata) – lightweight and beautiful wood, which generally does not rot. Pine strips on the loom is our “trade-mark” which adds stiffness to our paddles. As a finish, we oil the paddles with tungoil. Wooden paddle treated with oil feels very natural and warm in your hands. Good grip is guaranteed, even when the paddle is wet.
Using our greenland paddle is gentle to your muscles and joints and decreases fatique. It is silent and you put less effort in each stroke. Bracing and rolling are easier than you ever thought they could be.
