Sanborn Canoe Company - Nessmuk Ultralight Bent Shaft Canoe Paddle
Our Nessmuk bent shaft is crafted with one thing in mind - saving weight. We've employed Western Red Cedar throughout with a carbon-fiber backed blade to achieve one of the lightest wooden paddles you'll ever find. Nessmuk was the pen-name for George Washington Sears, a writer for Field and Stream magazine and author of Woodcraft in the late 1800s, who helped popularize canoeing and the movement towards ultra-light canoe camping. He was a tough 103-pound man, with a canoe named the Sairy Gamp, and we would like to think he would have appreciated this paddle; your arms definitely will!
