Jago Light 608.0: A smaller blade for easier paddling

TNP Jago Light 608.0 This paddle features a smaller blade area and a narrower shaft, designed primarily for children, teenagers, and women. The 608 cm² blade area reduces drag during each stroke, making the paddle easier to control and allowing for a smoother stroke rate even for paddlers with less physical strength.

This model is designed for whitewater and is suitable for young paddlers who are learning technique, just starting out in kayaking, or looking for a paddle tailored to smaller hands and a smaller build. The durable plastic blades can also withstand the normal wear and tear of lessons and regular use.

Leaf area of 608 cm² for lower drag

The leaves have an area of 608 cm², meaning a smaller stroke area than traditional whitewater power paddles. A smaller blade requires less force with each stroke, which helps reduce hand and shoulder fatigue and promotes a higher paddling frequency.

• Area 608 cm²: A smaller blade for easier paddling and less drag in the water.
• Suitable for lower strength: For children, teenagers, women, and paddlers with a lighter paddling style.
• Higher cadence: The smaller area makes it easier to repeat shots more quickly.
• Reduced fatigue: It helps reduce strain on the hands, shoulders, and wrists during long rides.

A 28-mm-diameter shaft for smaller hands

The pole has a diameter of 28 mm. A narrower grip is better suited for smaller hands and helps the paddler hold the paddle more comfortably without having to grip it too tightly. This can be beneficial both when learning technique and during longer paddling sessions.

• Shaft diameter 28 mm: A narrower grip designed for smaller hands.
• Comfort for Children and Teens: It makes it easier to hold the paddle during forward strokes and course corrections.
• Less hand fatigue: You can hold the pole more securely without gripping it too tightly.
• Technical Support: Suitable for teaching proper grip and paddle technique.

PAG sheets made of technical plastic reinforced with glass fibers

The sheets are made of PAG, that is, a technical polyamide reinforced with glass fibers. This material offers a practical combination of durability and functionality for use in whitewater, instruction, and regular recreational paddling.

• PAG: A polyamide-based engineering plastic.
• Glass fibers: Hardening of the material to increase the strength of the blades.
• Durable design: Suitable for routine contact with boats, the riverbank, or obstacles in the river.
• Useful for teaching: A design suitable for beginners and young riders.
