"Both my furniture and paddles intertwine beauty and form to create function and art simultaneously."

RAINBOWAVE paddles have for 20 years been on the cutting edge of form, function, quality, and beauty. They are used by racers, guides, and recreational boaters in the most technical and demanding whitewater situations around the world. Paddle on my friends!

RAINBOWAVE paddles are available in only one quality grade that is comparable to any

custom, top of the line paddle found in the world.

They come in a variety of styles and features as well as prices:

C-1 K-1 Standard Shaft K-1 Twisted Shaft

$350 $450 $600

All paddles regardless of shaft construction are available in the following blade shapes:

Slalom Slasher Wildwater Esoteric Trick stick(teardrop) Other custom shapes.

Shaft Construction

All shaft construction is of the plate configuration using Ash and Basswood multi-laminations. The two halves of the paddle in Standard shafts are joined in the center by means of a high ratio scarf joint. In a Twisted shaft the laminations run uninterrupted the whole length of the paddle shaft. This lack of a scarf joint removes a stress riser as well as allowing the paddle to have a livelier action without sacrificing any strength.

Carbon fiber re-enforced shaft, exotic hardwood edges and veneers are supplemental starting at $100.

Blades Include

North American Black Willow Assorted hardwood bang strips Hickory hardwood edges Epoxy saturated Dynel edges and tips 1.75 oz/sq/yd. epoxy saturated blade glass

All exposed wood is epoxy coated...&...Entire paddle is varnished.
