Outrigger Canoe Paddle can trace its birthplace to Tahiti and Hawaii. Our 1st prototype wooden OC paddle was completely handcrafted by an over 40 years experienced paddler in Tahiti.
During hundreds of tests by different levels of paddlers, we made several key innovations on the OC paddle. The 1st improvement was lowering the bent curve of the shaft. And we adopted a classical water-drop shape for the blade. The last point was that we adopted 12 degrees for the blade angle, which was more laborsaving and more efficient for paddling. Then we got the final version of OC paddle.
From more than a decade, ZJ has been constantly innovating and focusing on every detail for your optimal paddling experience. -
1. The waka ama paddle is made by Hand laying-up, with PMI foam inside, shaped by CNC machine. Cut according to the shape, thickness and size of the blade completely, which can precisely control the weight, size and thickness.
2. The paddle blade’s edge is reinforced with carbon fiber filament, which is more resistant to collisions.
3. It is 1-Piece between the shaft and handle, no gap junction, which is more aesthetic and solid.
4. The angle between the blade and the shaft is 12 degrees, which is optimal and more scientific. Also, it is more efficient and help you save energy.
5. We offer 3 kinds of blade sizes, the medium size meets the demands of both single and team paddling, therefore, it is the most popular size.
6. Carbon Blade is made by hand laying up production process.
7. The shaft is inserted into the blade, which is more solid.
8. With Bent Shaft, which is more efficient. It allows the blade to be kept vertical for a longer portion of the stroke, which is where the available power is greatest, moving more water with less effort.
9. The wood shaft for OC Paddle is completely handcrafted, made of walnut, autumn wood and white pine. The Wood Shaft Part Area is reinforced with fiberglass, much more stronger and durable than normal wood shaft. -

The overall guiding principal is this: the slower the craft the smaller the blade. The strength, fitness and technique of the paddler contribute to craft speed as well as the craft itself and both factor into your choice of outrigger paddle. Understanding how you are going to use the paddle as well as your own experience will help guide you to the perfect paddle.
*Material
Hybrid outrigger paddles tend to be the most popular in the racing scene. Whether it is the natural shock absorbing qualities of the wood shaft, or the slightly heavier weight, which makes control of the paddle easier in the wind and surf, the vast majority of hardcore paddlers choose Hybrid outrigger paddles.
Full carbon paddles are lightweight but also solid, which have a perfect balance of lightness and strength.
*Handle
Comfort is the greatest issue when choosing an outrigger paddle. Generally speaking, the "T" handle on the paddle is usually the most comfortable for any type of paddling.
