Warrior Quick-Lock: A High-Performance Paddle with Adjustable Length

Select WARRIOR Straight Quick-Lock It is a premium carbon paddle with a straight, adjustable shaft designed for experienced kayakers on large and medium-sized rivers. The Warrior model combines a large, high-lift blade, low weight, fast power transfer, and the Quick-Lock system, which allows you to adjust the paddle’s length without having to purchase multiple separate versions.

W1 blades are manufactured exclusively in the Carbon Super Light series and feature a built-in carbon pre-impregnated foam core. This design is intended for an active, power-oriented paddling style, rapid acceleration, and stable support in large-volume or technical whitewater.

Quick-Lock for adjusting the length by more than 10 cm

SystemQuick-Lock It allows you to adjust the length of the paddle by more than 10 cm on a straight shaft. This is useful when switching between boats, in changing river conditions, or for paddlers who want to fine-tune the length based on the width of the kayak, their technique, and the type of water.

• Quick-Lock: Adjustable system for a straight carbon pole.
• Adjustments of more than 10 cm: A wide range of options for adjusting the length to suit a specific boat and conditions.
• One range, multiple lengths: A practical solution for riders who don't want to buy several paddles of different lengths.
• Flexibility on the Go: Ideal when switching kayaks, renting equipment, or changing your paddling style.

W1 Carbon Super Light blades with a surface area of 715 cm²

W1 sheets have the following dimensions 50 × 20.6 cm and the desktop 715 cm². This is a large fin designed for riders who need significant support, quick acceleration, and strong traction when riding in waves, barrels, choppy water, and technical sections.

• Area 715 cm²: A large blade for powerful propulsion and strong support in challenging water conditions.
• Dimensions: 50 × 20.6 cm: A high-performance paddle for big water and technical whitewater.
• Carbon Super Light: Premium lightweight W1 blade design.
• Quick response: For acceleration, exits from cylinders, supports, and corrections in the flow path.

Carbon pre-impregnated foam core

The built-in carbon pre-impregnated foam core enhances the blade’s buoyancy in the water. As a result, the paddle responds more dynamically during support strokes and Eskimo rolls, breaks the surface more easily, and provides greater stability in waves, rollers, and turbulent currents.

• Foam core: A design that provides buoyancy for the blade when working in water.
• Carbon design: Lightweight and sturdy for quick response.
• Stronger supports: To stabilize the kayak when it tilts, in waves, and in turbulent water.
• Eskimo turns: The lift provided by the blade helps during active work and when regaining balance.

A large blade for power, lift, and rapid acceleration

The blade, with a surface area of 715 cm², is designed for rapid power transfer to the water. It provides significant thrust during forward strokes and sufficient support for power corrections, entering eddies, exiting rollers, and actively steering the kayak in challenging terrain.

• Rapid acceleration: To get the boat moving in the current and react instantly in technical sections.
• Strong support: To stabilize the kayak when it tilts, in waves, and in rollers.
• Power style: The large chainring is ideal for riders who can take advantage of the increased resistance during pedaling.
• Big Water Performance: For large rivers, high water levels, and challenging whitewater runs.

Ovalized carbon straight mast

The Warrior Quick-Lock uses a straight carbon shaft with an oval-shaped tube. The oval shape makes it easier to quickly position your hands, and the carbon material ensures low weight and responsive power transfer between your hands and the blades.

• Straight carbon pole: A classic straight grip for precise control of the paddle.
• Ovalized tube: It helps with hand positioning and provides a more secure grip during technical maneuvers.
• Carbon response: Quick power transfer for active paddling.
• Adjustable design: Quick-Lock combines the advantages of a straight pole with the ability to adjust its length.

Expert Advice

Select the WARRIOR Straight Quick-Lock if you want a large carbon lift blade for elite whitewater and need a flexible range of lengths. Choose a range that includes your usual paddle length; for most paddlers, it’s important to adjust the length before paddling based on the width of the kayak and the nature of the water. The 715 cm² blade area provides maximum support but is more demanding on the shoulders than smaller all-purpose blades.
