Recognizing that surfski paddlers often prefer smaller blade sizes than sprinters to reduce fatigue during long sessions or rough conditions, Braca continues to innovate by introducing more compact blade sizes. Whether you prioritize endurance, speed, or control, Braca-Sport’s blade designs offer a winning edge.

Reducing blade size without sacrificing performance is a true art, and Braca-Sport is a champion at it. Starting with designs originally crafted for larger paddles, like the 820 blade, Braca has skillfully refined these shapes down to as small as 600. This intricate process requires a deep understanding of hydrodynamics and a keen eye for shape and performance optimization. By shrinking the blade while maintaining its core design principles, Braca creates a paddle that delivers power and efficiency in a smaller, more manageable package—ideal for surfski paddlers who need to balance endurance with performance, especially during longer sessions or tough conditions.

The 19k and 21k carbon shafts from Braca-Sport are designed to cater to Surfski paddling preferences. These shafts are the most flexible shafts made by Braca. The 19k shaft is stiffer, offering more immediate power transfer and a more direct feel, making it great for paddlers looking for maximum control and a firm connection to the water. The 21k shaft, on the other hand, is the most flexible shaft Braca makes, providing a smoother, more forgiving stroke. This flexibility can help reduce fatigue during long paddles and gives a more relaxed feel without compromising performance. Both shafts are lightweight and durable, built to stand up to the demands of surfski racing and training.

The 21k carbon shaft was specifically designed in collaboration with surfski legend Oscar Chalupsky, who sought a shaft that would offer more flexibility and a smoother, more forgiving stroke without sacrificing power. The result is a shaft that combines Oscar’s expertise and Braca-Sport’s precision engineering, creating a paddle that reduces fatigue during long sessions and enhances comfort, while still delivering exceptional control and responsiveness on the water. This collaboration brings a level of performance that’s trusted by top athletes around the world. In order to retain strength and flexibility the 21k shaft has s slightly smaller diameter.

No one likes an industrial tube! Braca shafts are precise and have a great feel.
