The design of race paddle was part of work at the race pram P650. I think the paddles we can buy in shops are often solved very badly. Sometimes there are basic shape and ergonomic mistakes.

My aim was to create elegant and pure-designed paddle considering all technical and ergonomic requierements. The most significant improvement is the new shape of the handle. It allows comfortable and firm grip with sufficient space for fingers - this in particular is the biggest handicap of commercially available products. The handle is symmetrically shaped - so it´s suitable for both right-handed and left-handed persons.
