Blade

RTM Carbon Blades: Beautiful, light-weight and strong

A brand new range of high quality, performance paddles. The new, light-weight RTM carbon blades offer top class performance and feel. With a beautiful glossy finish, RTM Carbon paddles inherit the strength, endurance and unique three year warranty for which Ainsworth is renowned. The new Resin Transfer Moulded (RTM) blades achieve their performance through a high-tech manufacturing process, which uses vacuum, pressure-injected moulding to produce blades having the same strength but much lower weight than with traditional techniques.

Shaft

This paddle is available with the following shaft options:

• carbon shaft: made with Ainsworth filament wound technology - significantly lighter than our glass/epoxy shafts.

Length

The most important factors in choosing the length for your paddle are your height and the type of kayaking you'll be doing. Use the selector below to help find your ideal paddle length.

The selector is a guide only: personal preference is also an important factor. Other points to consider include:

• In general, the longer the kayak, the longer the paddle.
• People with long backs require longer paddles.
• A longer paddle gives you more support and makes it easier to learn to roll.
• A floaty blade such as the AFT range gives more support and the paddler uses less energy.
• Children require a shorter paddle.

Warranty

Ainsworth takes pride in creating the strongest, lightest and most durable paddles on the market. Ainsworth is so confident in the performance of its paddles and helmets that it offers a massive 3 year warranty.

The warranty applies from the date of purchase and is restricted to the original purchaser. It covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use. Note that the warranty does not cover ‘edge wear’ on the RTM range of paddles.

Damages due to abuse, negligence or normal wear and tear will be repaired or replaced for a very reasonable charge. For more details, click here.
