Brača XI Van Dusen '92 is the newest addition to the Brača-Sport paddle line. It was originally designed by Ted Van Dusen in 1992 after three years of development and testing. Due to the high demand, Brača-Sport added this special shaped blade to the product line by purchasing a licence from Ted in 2014. The blade has a special twisted tear-drop shape which facilitates a powerful catch and clean exit. It's movement through the water is different from other Brača-Sport blades, therefore it requires a slightly different paddling technique.   Your kayak paddle will be assembled with the Braca digital alignment bench, for a perfect set up!   IMPORTANT! Always clean your adjustable shaft regularly. Store your adjustable paddle disassembled if not used. Ask us for advice on maintaining your paddle!
