This Jantex Alpha kayak blade is for paddlers who prefer to keep their paddle close with a long pull stroke.
I do not carry the Alpha blades in stock so they would need to be ordered in from Jantex.
You have a choice of carbon tipped blades fitted to an adjustable or fixed shaft. Each paddle is customised to your specifications (see Specs Chart below for options).

Paddle tips protect your blades from being knocked around while in the water. They can reduce wear and tear on the edge. However, they can increase the weight of your paddle. So if you paddle mainly on flat water at average distances, they may not suit your style. If you paddle in harsher environments, such as rivers, they can help extend the life of your blades immeasurably.

Carbon Tips
Adjustable or fixed shaft?
ADJUSTABLE SHAFTS give you a range of paddling lengths - useful for different paddling conditions. Adjustable shafts are also much easier to travel with!
Important! Adjustable shafts need to be regularly cleaned with fresh water. If paddling on salt water, clean after each use.
FIXED SHAFTS will reduce the weight of the paddle as there's no join in the middle.
Made of carbon fibre, Kevlar and twill weave fabric. Carbon fibre strands are run lengthwise down the shaft to give it strength. Another layer of twill fabric on the outside gives further strength and a patterned appearance. This technique produces a thin walled, strong, light shaft. The percentage of Kevlar in each shaft determines the shaft’s flexibility. The more Kelvar, the more flexibility.
The most flexible of the Jantex shafts. Designed mainly for ocean ski paddlers and people just starting out. It’s easier on muscles because it’s got a lot of give.
