Powerblade Paddles
Powerblades are a robust blade made from high impact polypropylene and, because they can take a lot of abuse, they are a favourite with most Australian rafting companies, hire operators and school and scout groups.
Powerblades are available as blades only, or made up as single or double paddles on alloy shaft.
Powerblades are made in red, blue, green, white, black and yellow. Most colours are usually in stock, but should you require a specific colour, you can contact Australis as to exact availabilities.
The colours that Powerblades are available in
Single Paddles
As a single paddle, the blade is attached onto an aluminium shaft (32mm outside diameter), with a moulded plastic T-grip fitted into the other end. The T-grip is very comfortable fit for most hands.
A Powerblade Single Paddle
Double Paddles
As a double paddle, the blades are riveted with 3/16" rivets onto the aluminium shaft (32mm outside diameter).
Powerblades are a "budget" paddle that is only available on an aluminium shaft. You can choose to upgrade your double Powerblade paddle from a bare aluminium shaft by adding "heatshrink and grip".

Powerblade double paddles are also available with a "split" aluminium shaft, that allows you to take your paddle apart for easy transporting and storage.
