Used by paddlers of all skill levels, the Bending Branches BB Special Performance Canoe Paddle was designed to target comfort, efficiency, and durability. Our dedication to our craft has produced a canoeing paddle that allows its companion to paddle farther and more efficiently- effortless canoeing at every stroke.
