The NAJA slalom blades are a brand new exciting design which incorporates an extreme off-centre in relation to the axis of the shaft (8mm).
This feature coupled with the profile of the NAJA blade enhance the blades stroke performance.
So much so - Vavřinec Hradilek decided to change his paddle on the basis of the results of testing for only a few days before the first olympic nomination race. He won the selection and went to Beijing. He said : “Since the time I made the first stroke with NAJA MAXI I had a feeling that I am at one with the water. Even if I know that the stroke is more powerful and demands more power I am feeling a greater freedom and speed in moving the boat. I can really rely on these blades during the race when you are accelerating from every single gate as a rocket! This is a fantastic feeling. "
These blades have integral alloy edges to resist abrasion. Use in salt water is not recommended.
The MIDI size is suitable for women and the junior category or for men who prefer smaller blades with higher reps.
This wound carbon shaft constructed using a method of axial fiber laying for its construction is suited for use in canoe slalom. This technology has been used in the production of our shafts since 1994.
This shaft is for those who prefer a classic surface, which is created by wrapping the tape during production, (rather than our NO SLIDE shaft).

00930 K1 CARBON 28mm, wound, incl.plastic oval & bushing, length 120cm 00930M K1 NO SLIDE 28mm, carbon prepreg, incl.plastic oval/bushing, length 120cm

Bigger is not better, going larger than you need is counter productive, if in doubt go smaller size.
