Offset blades. A smooth, stable stroke.
The Spade Ninja combines offset carbon blades with a PVC foam core and a protective cord edge. Designed for whitewater kayaking, it offers a stable stroke and the added buoyancy of foam core blades.
Choose your shaft flex, paddle length and feather angle to match your paddling.
Offset blades for a stable stroke
The Ninja’s blades are offset relative to the shaft. This design helps the blade follow the direction of your stroke for a smooth, stable feel with reduced flutter.
Foam core blades with a protected edge
The PVC foam core adds buoyancy to the blade, giving it a natural tendency to rise towards the surface when submerged. A protective Dynel cord edge helps resist wear and impacts.
Blade area: 730 cm² — our standard whitewater blade size. The Ninja is offered in one blade size.
Choose your shaft
-
Fiberglass shaft: more flex for a softer, more forgiving stroke and a more comfortable ride.
-
Carbon shaft: a stiffer feel for a more direct response and precise paddle control.
One-piece paddle
This is a one-piece paddle. Choose your paddle length and feather angle when ordering. Two-piece versions with an installed Nylon or Inox split system are available as separate 2-Piece products.
