The Bending Branches Expedition Plus is a great white water canoe paddle that combines durability with performance, whilst also being very aesthetically pleasing.
Bending Branches have designed the Expedition Plus to feature an 18 layer laminated basswood paddle shaft, this provides added levels of stiffness, the shaft is also ovalized for comfort. The blade has been constructed from a combination of red alder, basswood and roasted basswood. Each side of the paddle blade is then finished with a 4 oz fiberglass coating, this helps to protect the wood whilst also adding some extra stiffness to the blade. The sides of the blade feature a full rockgard edge, this extends 6 inches up the sides of the paddle shaft which helps to provide further protection when executing selected paddling stokes.
