Bending Branches Expedition Plus

Expeditionary paddlers who need endurance, power, and control in their canoe paddle will love the Expedition Plus power T-grip and its Rockgard® edge protection that extends all the way from the blade tip to 6 inches up the shaft. This paddles 4 oz. fiberglass blade wrap further protects the red alder, basswood, and roasted basswood blade for maximum durability. Made of closed grain, light weight, durable hardwoods, the Expedition Plus is both attractive and versatile for paddlers who take their time on the water more seriously.

The Expedition Plus is designed to be a heavy-tripping paddle and Class I-III Whitewater, however not suitable for Class IV or V Whitewater.

Bending Branches' Rockgard protection is a proprietary technology - derived from the same material as inline skate wheels - that maintains the integrity of the paddle, seals against moisture and protects the most vulnerable areas - the tips and edges. It is this unmatched shock-absorption that Rockgard provides which helps Bending Branches wood paddles last six times longer than those without protection. 

The Expedition Plus is available in 2-inch increments.
