Bending Branches

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

The Traveler recreational canoe paddle is ideal for flat water paddling. It has a five-laminate blade handcrafted of basswood and red alder in Osceola, Wisconsin, and it has Bending Branches’ Rockgard® edge protection for added strength and durability.

Lightweight, 100% carbon shaft and carbon blade
11° bend and contoured palm grip make this paddle smooth and efficient for long days on the water
Nylon weave Edgegard tip protection seals the carbon and prolongs the life of the paddle
