The Catalyst is the sustainable canoe paddle, made by hand-laying first quality wood scraps, dedicated to the reuse of excess materials.

• Handcrafted from a combination of basswood, roasted basswood, red alder, and maple remnants from our first quality paddles
• The construction of the wood remnants means each blade layout is slightly unique
• At 24 oz., the Catalyst is day trip ready and ideal for flatwater 
• Designed for comfort with an ovalized shaft and a freestyle palm grip, this lightweight paddle will stand up to hours of paddling 
• The Catalyst exceeds our strength testing standards with full Rockgard® coverage and a 4 oz. fiberglass wrap

Here at Bending Branches, we build all our paddles to order (much like a fast-food restaurant), so paddles do not collect dust or become dated. As soon as you place your order, a real person in our Osceola, Wisconsin factory will start preparing your paddle. Shipping windows vary by product and are estimated on individual product pages. Thank you for supporting American manufacturing.
