Braca shafts are made from our proprietary carbon fiber and fabricated specifically for each paddle design.  The intended use of each paddle dictates the characteristics of the shafts and the shaft options available (short sprint, marathon saltwater, etc.). We maximize performance by providing customization of shafts that are specifically manufactured for your sport. You have lots of options. We do not provide off-the-shelf shaft lengths, FastPaddler assembles each paddle to a custom length.

Braca paddles are assembled to order using your custom paddle length. The shaft you select will have an adjustable range of 5 cm (stiffer shafts) or 10 cm (more flexible shafts). To assemble your paddle we need the shortest and longest length in cm. For example, a Braca IV with an 02K shaft might be 212-217 cm. A Braca XI with a 21K shaft might be 207-217 cm.

To assemble your paddle, we start with a very long shaft.  We assemble your paddle by cutting the shaft to your custom length on a Braca jig and then hot gluing the blade on. We follow the official Braca process which you can see in this video.

Braca paddles are not pre-built, each one is custom assembled from your order!

After you select a shaft we need to know your desired paddle length. Each shaft has a range of 5cm or 10 cm.  So we need the shortest and longest measurements for the shaft you select.

How to enter the custom paddle length:

• For the 19K or 21K adjustable shaft enter a 10 cm range (ex: 207 – 217 cm)
• For all other adjustable shafts use a 5cm range (ex: 210 – 215 cm)

Your shaft choice will determine the range of your adjustable paddle. Here is an image of all the shaft types.  Not every paddle has all these options, for example, surfski paddles only use the 19K and 21K shafts.

You need to enter the shortest and the longest length for your adjustable paddle in cm.
Remember you can use ANY length, these are just some examples.
