Blade Sizes: 635, 670, 705, 720, 735, 750 and 765 cm2

Blade Profile: Tear drop. The Braca IV is regarded being the world’s original “tear drop” design blade.

Blade Construction: 100% carbon fiber epoxy in Extra Light layup.

Blade Characteristics: The Braca IV, has a firm positive catch and a steady draw through the stroke providing the paddler with balance and stability through the entire stroke. It is very forgiving in the ocean and messy conditions where technically perfect catch and stroke is not always possible.

Blade Construction: 100% carbon fiber epoxy in Extra Light layup.

Blade Characteristics: The Braca XI with its unique twisted tear drop shape provides a very powerful catch and a super smooth clean exit.

The Braca XI demands technical proficiency throughout every stroke.

Paddler Suitability: The Braca XI is suitable for experienced and technically proficient paddlers. The Braca XI is very popular with stronger female and experienced male surf and ocean ski paddlers, as well with sprint kayak athletes.
