The Explorer Plus is a long-time favorite, known for beat-me-up durability, for both wilderness tripping and flatwater paddling.
The paddle is a "cosmetic second", meaning the entire paddle is 100% structurally sound, but the finish will have slight cosmetic imperfections. All paddle components (shaft, blades, and ferrule) are all structurally first quality parts that meet or surpass all benchmark testing. Standard imperfections can be found in the blades or shafts and could include porosity, streaking, scratches, misplaced/crooked graphics, discolored material, or inconsistencies in the laminated finish.
- Remarkably durable with a 4 oz. fiberglass wrapped blade
- Full Rockgard® protection will withstand heavy use
- 18-laminate shaft provides strength and power
