Swift Fabric Paddles come in 33 stunning custom fabric inlays and are available in four distinct blades. These blades are powerful but forgiving with quick acceleration, a flutter free stroke and smooth follow through. See our Wind, Mid, Sea and Skookum Paddles for more details on each of the 4 blade options and visit http://www.eddyline.com/swift-paddles/available-fabrics/ for images of available fabrics.

ALL Swift paddles feature graphite shafts for added strength and stiffness! Swifts are available in two-piece construction and the grip range has a slight oval shape for comfort and indexing. We use straight shafts only, which provide maximum versatility for all paddling conditions and styles.

Swifts are some of the lightest paddles on the market weighing in at 27 – 31 oz. depending on blade size and length. Blade weight is a mere 6.5 – 8oz. (depending on size) for an incredibly low swing weight! Fabric inlays add only 2 oz. to the overall paddle weight.

Swift paddles represent the ultimate in simplicity, light weight and durability achieved through a combination of technologies developed over 36 years. Swift paddle blades are constructed from multiple layers of aircraft glass and other specialized fibers. The complex laminate is vacuum bagged using high strength resins and heat to produce a blade that is stiff, strong and yet very lightweight. Combined with an ovaled graphite shaft and the Feather Lock Adjustable Ferrule System, the asymmetrical blade moves smoothly through the water with each powerful but efficient stroke.
