The Banjo can be used for general purpose flat-water paddling as well as in the surf and produces a brilliant paddling experience for both novice and skilled paddlers.

The "asymmetrical" shape (sometimes called "tear drop" shape) delivers excellent paddling efficiency, and the rigidity of the glass-filled polypropylene (light-weight yet strong) eliminates "flutter" during power strokes.

Only available as fully assembled paddles, Banjo blades are set at an angle of 70 degrees on a 29mm anodised aluminium or fibreglass shaft. Aluminium shafts can be upgraded from a bare shaft by adding "heatshrink and grip".

"Split" paddles are also available. An aluminium push-button split shaft allows you to take your paddle apart for easy transporting and storage, whilst a fibreglass smart-shaft means the paddle can be adjusted in length (up to 10cm) and angle (from unfeathered to 90 degrees), as well as being taken apart for easy storage.

All paddles are "double plugged" to create an air-lock, so that your paddle will float on top of the water. Drip rings are fitted as standard and Banjo blades come in red, yellow, blue, white and black.
