Information
The Explorer Plus is a long-time favorite, known for beat-me-up durability, for both wilderness tripping and flatwater paddling.
- Remarkably durable with a 4 oz. fiberglass wrapped blade
- Full Rockgard® protection will withstand heavy use
- 18-laminate shaft provides strength and power
A freestyle grip or palm grip is very comfortable on your hands, and good for long days of flatwater paddling.
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.
Hand-crafted in Osceola, Wisconsin.

Rockguard rocks!
Beautiful paddle and I already know I need the rockguard due to the state of my previous paddles. Looking forward to trying it for real.
