Braca Children Paddle
Youth-Sized, 50% Carbon, Wing Paddle
Paddle of choice for young US Development Club Paddlers Braca Children is designed with the same tear-drop shape used in Braca I and Braca IV but proportionally reduced for youth. This youth-sized paddle is manufactured with a carbon, fiberglass combination resulting in a paddle with more flex. These softer mechanics allow for less stress on young joints and muscles, reducing common kayaking injuries. The youth shaft diameter is slightly smaller than the standard sized shafts. Also, consider the Braca IV Carbon 60 paddle in smaller sizes. This is basically the same paddle as the Braca Children but with a choice of standard-diameter shafts. Another great way to get Braca quality at a great price for young paddlers! We welcome a conversation about paddles with input from your child's coach.

A soft blade tends to be more forgiving on the joints and muscles during long paddling sessions, reducing strain and fatigue. This is particularly advantageous for paddlers who engage in distance, endurance, or have overuse injuries. Additionally, the flexibility of a soft blade can provide a gentler entry into the water, which helps maintain a smooth and efficient stroke technique. The Braca IV (4) represents the original 'teardrop' design, renowned as a leading carbon wing paddle across various competitive paddling disciplines including Olympic Sprints, World Marathon Championships, and Surfski. It excels in optimizing power application during the catch and mid-stroke, thereby enhancing the forward stroke experience to its utmost potential.

Its iconic teardrop shape, pioneered by the Braca IV, continues to dominate as one of the world's most favored performance wing paddles. PURCHASE
