Dragon Boat Paddles

Paddles from ZRE and Merlin - all paddles IDBF 202a approved

Key differences: ZRE paddles have an oval shaft and a full carbon construction using a high-tech foam core inside the blade to ensure maximum stiffness.  Handle options available include the popular ergonomic palm grip, wooden sculpted T grip and special order integrated carbon T grip.  The ZRE range now includes the amazing “XL” paddle which is 30% lighter - amazing but true.  Lighter than the Trivium and most other paddles.  Due to the light weight this is recommended for more experienced paddlers who are able to control this effectively.

Key differences: Merlin-
TD2 -
club paddle with a composite blade and carbon shaft, slight flex in the blade which may be of benefit to paddlers concerned about injury or those looking for a long distance paddle.
CD2 - high performance paddle with a carbon blade and shaft great for getting that positive reaction at the start of the stroke.  
Ghost - an ultra-light paddle! Its aluminium honeycomb core is straight from the aerospace industry providing an amazing strength to weight ratio.
TD2 and CD2 available in custom colours & with logos - give your club a distinctive look!
Excalibur - the unique data acquisition paddle a CD2 modified to include strain and position sensors - make your crew selection based on real information! Available to hire or purchase. Full product details available here:
