The Mid Swift is our most popular blade size and an excellent choice for most touring kayakers. The Mid Swift delivers plenty of pull and control in rough water conditions, yet it is quite well behaved when the wind blasts against it. We find this to be the ideal paddle for extended paddling in varied and changeable conditions and the only paddle many kayakers will ever need.

Blade Dimensions: 18" x 6.25"

Surface Area: 100 Sq. In.

Weight: 29.5 oz (220cm); 30 oz (230cm); 30.4 oz (240cm)

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.
