Kai Zen Paddle
The Blue Planet Kai Zen V3 is the ultimate performance paddle for racing and in the surf, available in 80, 90, 105 square inch blades.
The third generation of our highest performance paddle is here with a refined blade design and a more pronounced blade shape and elongated outline. The deeper concave and pointed tip make for a cleaner entry, powerful catch and a smoother power phase. The oval tapered shaft has a slightly thinner diameter and is lighter than the Kai Zen V2. The thinner diameter allows for a more relaxed grip and a bit more flex. The ergonomic handle is hot glued and allows the length to be adjusted using only a heat gun, so you can vary the paddle's length without sacrificing fixed length performance. The blade neck is shorter for a more rigid, stronger connection to the shaft. The oval shape is comfortable in the hand, allows for a tighter connection that can't twist, and the hydrodynamic blade neck shape prevents air bubbles from forming for less "slippage". The blade is designed for a smooth entry, solid catch and a smooth power phase for efficient strokes. The ergonomic handle promotes good technique. The tapered shaft has a "Mano Grip" texture that prevents slipping without causing blisters on long paddles.
