Kayak Paddle Shaft or Replacement Paddle Shaft
The Streamlyte CXT Replacement Paddle Shaft is just one of the many kayak paddle spares that we sell here at Up and Under. This replacement paddle shaft features a carbon extreme construction and is available in three different diameters. This is the same style paddle shaft that is used in kayak paddle models such as the Streamlyte Freeway Elite and also the Kinetic Polo CXT.
Streamlyte Paddles have designed this carbon paddle shaft to feature a blended construction. This comprises 52% glass, 37% carbon and 11% kevlar. When all of this is combined, it offers some of the lowest weights for the highest possible strengths. This type of carbon paddle shaft tends to be found in the top end highest performance kayak paddles.
This kayak paddle shaft is then available in 3 different diamters; there is a 25.4mm, 26mm and also a 27mm. As a rough guide, the 25.4mm tends to class as a narrow diameter for use on kayak polo paddles. The 26mm is used as a standard diameter on a kayak polo paddle whilst the 27mm tends to appear on whitewater kayak paddles. The shaft is roughly about 100cm in length. It also incorporates a glass fibre reinforced end band which helps to give added strength.
Please remember, when chopping the paddle shaft down to length, please measure it carefuly from the centre and cut equal amounts off each end. This will then keep the paddle shaft equally balanced in weight.
