The Mohawk Canoe Paddle is made of an anodized aluminium shaft, high impact plastic blade, and grip. It offers performance, durability, and requires little maintenance. For the majority of hands, a shaft diameter of 1-1/8" is the most comfortable. The 8" wide, 57" long paddle with a "T" shaped grip is thin and lightweight (around 28 oz and floats in the water horizontally). Two paddles are available.
