Galasport Brut CA–JRS: A durable paddle for technical and extreme water conditions

Brut CA–JRS: Stable grip and robust construction

Galasport Brut CA–JRS This paddle features durable Kevlar-carbon blades and a shaft made of JRS material, designed for touring and challenging whitewater. The large blade, with a surface area of 730 cm², provides significant support, powerful propulsion, and precise control of the kayak when navigating technical terrain.

The asymmetrical blade is based on a slalom shape that promotes stability during the stroke. The construction uses JRS material in the blades, their protective edges, and the shaft to make the paddle more resistant to wear and impact.

Asymmetrical slalom blade for precise control

The Kevlar-carbon asymmetrical blade is based on a slalom shape. This helps maintain stable grip and more precise boat control in technical rapids, around rocks, and during quick course corrections.

• Asymmetrical leaf shape: For an efficient entry into the water and more precise control of the kayak.
• Slalom Inspiration: A shape designed to ensure traction stability in more extreme terrain.
• Area 730 cm²: Excellent support for high-torque operations, rapid acceleration, and stabilization maneuvers.
• Dimensions 450 × 200 mm: A high-performance blade design for active whitewater paddling.

JRS reinforcement around the perimeter of the blade

The blade is reinforced around its entire perimeter with JRS material, which reduces wear caused by contact with rocks, the riverbed, and other obstacles. This protection is useful for paddlers who use their paddles intensively in rocky and abrasive environments.

• JRS Edge Reinforcement: Full-perimeter blade protection.
• Less wear and tear: It helps protect the blade when it comes into contact with rocks and the riverbed.
• Whitewater durability: The design is intended for demanding technical applications.
• Longer service life: Reinforced edges increase the blade's durability during regular paddling.

GVAC Technology and Sheet Material Composition

TechnologyGVAC It uses JRS material with a 70% carbon content. The blade’s construction combines JRS, 20% carbon, and epoxy, creating a robust material composition that ensures stable traction and durability in challenging terrain.

• GVAC technology: A structural design utilizing JRS material with a 70% carbon content.
• JRS, carbon fiber, and epoxy: A combination of materials for strength and blade protection.
• 20% carbon in the blade's construction: The structural composition listed in the product specifications.
• Kevlar-carbon characteristics: A design focused on durability and stable performance under load.

JRS Shock-Absorbing Pole

BRUT blades are combined with a sturdy shaft made from an improved JRS material. The shaft is designed for better shock absorption and has an outer diameter of 29.5 mm, which provides a firm grip during powerful strokes and when maneuvering the boat in strong currents.

• JRS pole: Durable construction designed for intensive use in whitewater.
• Shock absorption: A material design focused on providing a more responsive feel to the paddle under load.
• Outer diameter 29.5 mm: A sturdy design for a firm grip and efficient power transfer.
• Durable design: Suitable for riders who require equipment with a long service life.

Expert Advice

The Brut CA–JRS is a good choice if you’re looking for a durable paddle with a large blade area and your priority is a stable, powerful stroke in technical or extreme water. The 730 cm² blade area provides significant support but requires more effort during long paddling strokes than smaller blades. Before ordering, select the appropriate length, right- or left-handed version, and angle based on your paddling technique.
