$625.00
The most demanded down river and surfski blade has just got better. Save all the good design of Gamma, with small changes to become more aggressive and stable on the catch.
Description
One of Jantex’s most successful shapes (Jantex Gamma) has been fine tuned to create the Gamma Rio blade. Developed in co-operation with Max Hoff extra sizes were added to create the Gamma Rio range with the addition of some minor changes to the larger blade sizes. This ensures a paddler can choose the best size blade to suit their use.
This blade provides an aggressive catch, improved stability and excellent exit.
The new Rio line has 9 kayak blade sizes giving more options and finer gaps between sizes.
For a range of paddlers from kids to strongest male paddlers.
- Suitable for men, strong junior or very strong female paddlers
