Gearlab Outdoors Ipik

Flagship soft-shouldered paddle - IPIK, weighing 600g, constructed using 3D carbon technology. Gearlab’s first oval-shaped and shouldered loom, enhancing paddle control in lumpy conditions while providing an ergonomic fit.
 

IPIK is the lightest Greenland paddle Gearlab Outdoors has ever designed at 600 grams. Thanks to the unique 3D wrapping construction offering the best strength-to-weight carbon fiber Greenland paddle on the market.

Features:

• 3D Carbon IPIK boasts an all new 3D carbon construction that intertwines the full paddle with continuous strands of aero grade carbon fiber. This results in superior strength, weight reduction, and a distinctive visual pyramid pattern.
• Soft-Shouldered The gently sloped transition between the loom and blade draws on a classic Inuit design to ensure quick hand-positioning, increased leverage, and intuitive paddle control.
• Oval LoomThe IPIK sports Gearlab’s first oval-shaped loom, enhancing paddle control and providing an ergonomic fit.
• Sharp and Protected Blade The 1.1mm sharp blade slices the water efficiently, while Gearlab’s patented third-generation replaceable ProTek tips protect IPIK from damage.
• Diamond Joint The innovative metal-free carbon spring joint design snaps securely together to ensure a flush, firm connection between the blades. The result is a paddle offering two-piece convenience and a streamlined, one-piece paddling experience.
• Titanium Hardware Aerospace grade Titanium screws are used in all Gearlab Greenland paddles, ensuring that even the smallest element of a Gearlab paddle remains strong and rustproof.
• Two Piece All Gearlab Greenland paddles feature a two-piece design that separates quickly for convenient transportation and storage on the kayak deck. The low-profile carbon fiber button release creates a flush joint and sleek paddle shaft.
