ICF K1 Kayak Racing Paddle
Olympic and World Championship sprint paddle with a powerful pull
Designed for flatwater racing for strong sprinters, the Braca I is one of the most popular racing kayak paddles in the world. The paddle is designed to facilitate the application of power in the catch through the middle of the stroke, leading to an efficient and powerful forward stroke. This is the largest classic teardrop kayak paddle from Braca and is available in blade types, Standard, Extra Light, Marathon (special order). Braca offers a full range of shaft stiffness and custom length to customize your paddle to your specs. The Braca IV is the same blade design scaled in smaller sizes.PURCHASE
Hybrid (Fusion) Model
Brača IX is engineered using advanced kinetic, bio-mechanical and material science concepts to combine the best characteristics from multiple paddle designs into one hybrid model. The revolutionary idea enables the paddle to provide different characteristics during each phase of the stroke (catch, drive and exit). It has a very firm catch, and then transitions to the smooth medium power drive and effortless and forgiving exit.PURCHASE
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.
