| STAND-UP Paddle Stick - The Bonzai Zephyr is designed and built by Sawyer. Sawyer has been making traditional and innovative styles of paddles for over 40 years. In keeping with their innovation and tradition they offer their version of the Stand up paddle - the Bonzai Zephyr.
Zephyr Blade - delivers good power and excellent efficiency for distance paddling and some surf use. It is a slightly longer blade and more symetrical vs. the Bonzai Ellipse.
Weighing only 32 oz., this beautiful paddle is built by using technologies that blend wood and composite materials for a finished product that is incredibly strong and light. The blade is constructed of laminated Western Red Cedar with graphite rib reinforcements to provide strength while still allowing ample flex. The power face of the blade is carbon reinforced for added strength throughout the stroke. A full perimeter Dynel Tough Edge protects the rim of the blade. The tapered, laminated Ponderosa Pine shaft is Carbon Braid Reinforced, oval shaped to index cleanyl to the hand and offers a medium flex that delivers power to the blade while protecting your muscles and joints. An 11 degree bend at the base of the shaft provides a longer, more efficient forward stroke. A thumb-notched, hot dog grip offers more control while keeping your hand relaxed. |
