SCOOPED DIHEDRAL BLADE TECHNOLOGY FOR EFFICIENT PADDLE STROKES
The Lava incorporates our Scooped Dihedral Blade Technology (SDBT) which holds water securely through the power phase, eliminating lateral movement and delivering force in a smooth, efficient manner. The extension of the dihedral ridge towards the toe of the blade keeps it stable and delivering power, even if you don’t get a full paddle stroke. The concave design of the two sides of the dihedral increases power output. The Lava blade is predictable, powerful, and efficient, encouraging the use of smaller sizes.
COMFORTABLE POWER GRIP HANDLE
The PowerGrip has been optimized for maximum power, increased efficiency, and long-lasting comfort while paddling hard. Developed in collaboration with world champion Arthur Arutkin and Maui waterman Bernd Roediger, the wider and flatter back creates a secure feel that remains comfortable during longer races and workouts. The Hydro TempoX comes with our red, 100% carbon PowerGrip. Like all our handles, the PowerGrip is hollow to help eliminate any excess weight.
