BRAČA-SPORT Youth Canoe and Kayak Paddles
Carbon Paddles Designed for Young Athletes
Why these are the best carbon fiber kayak paddles for young athletes:
Physiology
These paddles are designed to match young athlete’s physiology with a 60% carbon blend, in both shaft and blade, enhancing flexibility to protect developing joints, absorb impact, and reduce the risk of paddling injuries. Youth sized paddles also feature a slightly smaller diameter shaft.
Design and Quality
Braca youth-sized paddles are skillfully crafted as scaled-down versions of the original full-size designs, retaining the performance qualities of full size paddles.
Room to Grow
We offer the flexibility to replace blades and shafts as athletes grow or in the event of paddle damage or loss. Braca paddles stand out for their unique reconfiguration capabilities, a testament to Braca-sport’s innovative product design.
Adult marathoners and masters also appreciate the smaller blade and more flexible construction of these sizes!
