Blade:
Ainsworth use a tough nylon-glassfibre composite construction for superb durability and performance to give a strong, ‘all round’ paddle. Launched in 2006, the material yields 260 Mpa tensile strength - that’s over double the strength of the nylon 12 used in many other nylon paddles. Ainsworth’s Nylon blade is much stiffer than any other nylon paddles. The shaft is pressed into the blades with hydraulic pressure to a depth of 10cm, ensuring a watertight joint and a continuous feel from shaft to blade tip. The high strength of the material means that the blade can be made lighter.

Shaft:
This paddle is available with the following shaft options:
titanium enriched alloy shaft: corrosion resistant alloy, specially selected for paddling use, coated with PVC.
straight glass/epoxy prepreg shaft: made with Ainsworth filament wound technology - 30% more strength for the same weight.
carbon shaft: made with Ainsworth filament wound technology - significantly lighter than our glass/epoxy shafts.

•Shaft Options:
1pc alloy (A)
1pc glass (G) straight (+GBP 30.00)
1pc carbon (C) straight (+ GBP 50.00)
