Aleut touring paddle

This type of Aleut paddle is almost identical to a classic Aleut paddle, with the exception of the gently curved shaft. The blades are oriented slightly forwards when you paddle.

Curved paddles are known from several locations in the Arctic and are not as many people might think a new invention. The curve allows you to plant the paddle into the water further forwards, making the strokes longer and more effective. The paddle is thus specialized for propulsion. As with all the traditional paddles, this one is comfortable to use and subjects your body to minimal strain.

Definitely a good paddle for longer voyages and for people who like to work a little harder. 

Length and weight as the classic Aleut.
