Sawyer Wood & Carbon Banzai Ellipse and Zephyr Paddles

Weighing only 32 oz., Bonzai Ellipse paddle is built by using technologies that blend wood and composite materials for a finished product that is incredibly strong and light. The blade is constructed of laminated Western Red Cedar with graphite rib reinforcements to provide strength while still allowing ample flex. The power face of the blade is carbon reinforced for added strength throughout the stroke. A full perimeter Dynel Tough Edge protects the rim of the blade. The tapered, laminated Ponderosa Pine shaft is Carbon Braid Reinforced, oval shaped to index cleanyl to the hand and offers a medium flex that delivers power to the blade while protecting your muscles and joints. An 11 degree bend at the base of the shaft provides a longer, more efficient forward stroke. A thumb-notched, hot dog grip offers more control while keeping your hand relaxed.

The Bonzai Zephyr comes in at 32 oz. as well, and has a semi teardrop shaped blade that has proven itself as a SUP marathon paddle. Slightly narrower and longer than the Ellipse, the Banzai Zephyr delivers plenty of power while still remaining efficient for rapid stroke cadence.
