The Ainsworth Classic C100 Alloy Straight Shaft uses advanced Foam Technology in the blades to create a paddle that's tough, but also light and floaty. This AFT construction is unique to Ainsworth Paddles. The shaft has been made from titanium enriched aluminium to the same spec used in aircraft construction, this provides the best possible corrosion resistance and an extremely high tensile strength. Fitted with a comfortable T grip, the paddles blade has natural floatation and hence feels light in the water. This paddle is both great on flat water touring and on white water and is a great first paddle for any canoeist.
AFT (Advanced Foam Technology): The blades are made using a unique polyurethane high-pressure structural foam construction. This produces a paddle which is tough, lightweight and floaty. The low density is similar to that of a wooden paddle and so can offer the paddler much the same feel but with durability that exceeds the best plastic blades.
One-Piece Alloy Straight Shaft: Ainsworth has been making alloy shafted paddles for over 45 years and slowly progressed to being able to process an aluminium alloy that surpasses all its competitors. This titanium enriched alloy is the same spec as used for aircraft construction, it offers the very best corrosion resistance of any aluminium alloy along with a very high tensile strength.
