The paddle we trust the most, for Coast to Coast.
Choosing your first racing paddle can feel risky — especially when you’re investing serious time and money into your Coast to Coast prep. Get it wrong, and you’ll end up battling with a paddle that just doesn’t suit. After a big summer of guiding on the Waimak, Canterbury Kayaking’s founder Sam Milne was fed up with his old paddle that felt unnecessarily heavy and clunky for long distances on the river. He started testing alternatives – and the Gara Odin blew the competition out of the water. Now, he won’t use anything else, and neither will the rest of his team. Just about everyone who has a go with Sam’s Odin on guided trips refuse to give it back, and end up ordering one at the take-out. Light, smooth, and balanced, the Odin is the paddle we trust to help you train and race with confidence, knowing you have one of the best paddles on the market.
