2 Piece Leverlock Lendal Voyager Carbon

Description

The VOYAGER got a complete redesign for 2018 based on two years of feedback from our community of low angle paddlers. Our design team took this input and spent most of summer 2017 modeling and performing strength and fluid tests on several possible designs. We manufactured a variety of prototypes and handed them over to our pro paddlers for extensive real-world testing in the late summer and fall. After several design iterations they had nothing left to critique. Then we made the paddle and handed that out to several folks for a final round of input and asked them to paddle their hearts out.

Their response in their words, “The new VOYAGER has excellent purchase, is predictable in all strokes, encourages fluid transitions, and gives amazing control in every condition.”

“Most importantly it left us smiling at the end of the day regardless of how many miles we paddled.” As one kayaker stated at the end of one of those long days, “[the VOYAGER] does everything so amazingly well, and effortlessly you almost forget you’re paddling.”

*Umingmaq’s Take: This paddle is a slightly improved version of one of my favorite paddles of all times; the Lendal Archipelago. Predictable, solid and versatile, in both low and high angle strokes.
