FIRE IT UP!!!

Here are two kayak paddles that were recently sent down to Pucon, Chile to Chris Baer. 

The shafts of both paddles are laminated bamboo providing a light weight yet extremely durable paddle that delivers a lot of stored energy and is easy on your joints. 

These paddles were made with stout blades, thick blade wood along with a double layer of glass, resulting in a model I refer to as      "Baer Proof"

The first paddle has Yellow Cedar blades with Purple Heart pinstripes and Maple edges and is capped with  Curley English Sycamore tips.

The second paddle again has the Yellow Cedar bladewood and Maple edges but has Walnut pinstripes and Karelean Burl tips. 

Motivational writing on the shaft for when you're about to FIRE IT UP!!!

"50 strokes into "FIRE IT UPS"  life and it goes off a 40 footer, that paddle is going to see some shit. Thank you soo much."   - Chris Baer
