Braca VI

June 17th, 2017|Categories: , , , , |Tags: , |

Extreme Tear-drop Model

Brača VI is designed with a more extreme 'tear-drop' shape, which facilitates a very powerful catch. This design maximizes the working blade area when it is only partially submerged in the water, especially at the beginning and the end of the stroke cycle. Due to the special shape, this blade feels bigger compared to a normal teardrop blade with the same area size, such as the Braca I & IV shape. Braca VI's are more typically sprint paddles due to their large size.

Braca VII (7) paddles are smaller versions of the Braca VI (6) paddles. They are the same shape and are typically used for marathon and sprint, depending on the size of the paddler. This blade has become increasingly popular in recent years due to Danuta Kozak (HUN) winning two Olympic gold medals in London and three gold medals in Rio using a Brača VII 745 paddle.

Braca VIII

June 15th, 2017|Categories: , , , , |Tags: , , |

Innovative Tear-drop Model

Braca VIII is based on an innovative blade concept. It was designed and engineered to facilitate a softer catch and the generation of smooth, precise, and consistent strokes. The Braca VIII makes an ideal first wing paddle for sea kayakers due to the soft catch and more forgiving forward stroke posture. The Braca VIII blades are long, so it’s important to order a paddle that is long enough so you do not end up with a short inner shaft with your hands too close together. More info here.
