The Loon is now only made with dynel edges. The
new Loon is much tougher, has more durable edges and has lost
an ounce of weight in the process.
The Loon is a handsome straight-shaft touring paddle
for the discriminating paddler. It is designed for moderate-duty
use up through class II whitewater.
The blade is 8-3/8” by 20” and constructed of book-matched
western cedar with dynel edges. Western cedar in the
interior provides the light weight and the dynel edges provide
strength and durability. The blade profile has fairly
strong shoulders with thin edges for ultra smooth in-water
strokes.
The hand-formed grip is almost a football shape -- a unique
combination of a Canadian palm grip and a maximum control,
freestyle grip, giving the optimum combination of power and
control.
Altogether, the LOON is a a great combination of light
weight, durability and performance.
Average Weight: 22 oz for a 56” paddle.
Lengths from 50” to 60” in 1” increments.
Price: $175
