The Smash is designed for demanding conditions yet remains versatile enough for touring and for beginners who want to experience whitewater. It is intended for paddlers seeking a reliable tool for packrafting in challenging environments. The fiberglass laminate blades are strong, stiff, lightweight, and water-repellent, providing precise and stable strokes even in aerated water.
The 4-piece design allows easy transport, while the clamp-lock ferrule enables fine-tuning of both length and feather angle. Shorter setups (around 195 cm) are ideal for powerful, high-frequency strokes in whitewater, while longer setups (up to 215 cm) improve endurance and efficiency in flatwater paddling.
