ZJ Dragon Boat Paddle Full Carbon Fiber IDBF Approved Paddle (OPDP)

Free shipping for 2nd paddle. According to the ancient Chinese stories, dragon boat race originated in the Warring States Period. Due to the honoured Minister Chu Yuan died in the river, the whole country people could not accept the loss of the great man.

Therefore, every 5th day of lunar month, people organize a dragon boat race to commemorate him. Nowadays, this race has become an international event. It is very popular in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, Singapore and other countries and districts.

As the popularity of the composite materials, paddle materials are becoming more and more diversified. Since 2007, ZJ has been focusing on producing carbon fiber paddles. Our mission is creating a lighter, faster and stronger dragon boat paddle.

We are using PMI foam core (shaped by CNC machine) for the blade and 100% carbon fiber prepreg for the shaft, thus a high-quality and fabulous paddle is created.

Wish you have a wonderful journey with our paddle!

1. The paddle is made by Hand laying-up, with PMI foam inside, shaped by CNC machine. Cut according to the shape, thickness and size of the blade completely, which can precisely control the weight, size and thickness.

The chart is based on generalized data. The unique details you need to consider include arm length, your stroke rate, your skill level, what part of the boat you sit in, what type of boat your team uses and what type of water you typically paddle in.

Here are a few techniques you can use to determine the right paddle length:

*Do a sitting test:

Sit on a flat surface and stand your paddle up next to you, blade down. Can you reach up and grab the handle If so, this might be a good paddle length for you.

*Do a standing test:

Stand on a flat surface and stand your paddle up next to you, blade down. If you can fit at least three fingers between the handle and your armpit, this might be a good paddle length for you.

*Do a real test:

To truly find the right paddle, you have to add water! With that in mind, the easiest way to determine your ideal paddle size is to use paddles of different lengths for a few minutes at a time during practice. Simply swap paddles with your teammates and see what length works best for you.
