Bending Branches Arrow Multi-Laminate Wood Straight Shaft Canoe Paddle – Rockgard Protected

Master the Water with Hand-Crafted Precision

The Bending Branches Arrow recreational canoe paddle is a stunning blend of performance and aesthetics, designed for those who appreciate the natural beauty of wood on rivers and lakes. Each paddle is meticulously hand-crafted in Osceola, Wisconsin, featuring a visually striking multi-tone laminate of basswood, red alder, and maple.

Visual Craftsmanship & Design

The Arrow showcases a beautiful 7-laminate blade with alternating wood grains that provide both structural integrity and a premium look. The blade tip is reinforced with Bending Branches’ signature Rockgard® protection, a translucent edging that shields the wood from rocks and debris without hiding its natural beauty. The 18-laminate straight shaft is ovalized for ergonomic comfort, leading to a classic palm grip that feels natural in the hand for all-day paddling.
