TNP Rapa Carbon 707C.0: A paddle with PAC blades for whitewater and freestyle

Rapa Carbon 707C.0: A versatile paddle for river and whitewater paddling

TNP Rapa Carbon 707C.0 It is a versatile whitewater paddle with a duralumin shaft and durable PAC blades. It is designed for a wide range of paddlers—from beginners to experts—and can be used for classic river running, playboating, and more technically demanding freestyle.

Unlike the standard polyamide blades on the Rapa model, the Carbon version uses PAC material with a high proportion of long carbon fibers. The result is a design focused on strength, responsiveness, and practical use on rivers and in general whitewater.

PAC sheets with long carbon fibers

The sheets are made of PAC, that is, made of polyamide with a high proportion of long carbon fibers. This material composition gives the blades a carbon-reinforced character while maintaining the practicality of a design intended for frequent use on the water.

• PAC material: Polyamide with a high proportion of long carbon fibers.
• Carbon Fiber Reinforcement: Blade design focused on strength and effective response during engagement.
• Practical use: Suitable for recreational river paddling, whitewater, and competitive paddling.
• Versatility: For riders looking for a durable paddle without having to switch to an expensive racing composite model.

Smooth forward traction and a technical blade profile

The Rapa Carbon offers a smooth forward stroke for effortless paddling on the river. At the same time, the blade's transverse profile supports technical boat handling and allows for use in course corrections, bracing, and a more athletic style of paddling in whitewater.

• A pleasant forward shot: To ensure the boat moves forward smoothly and maintains its pace on the river.
• Cross-sectional profile of the blade: A design suitable for technical kayaking maneuvers.
• Stable handling of the boat: For course correction, stability, and maneuvering in moving water.
• Comprehensive response: For recreational and sporting use on rivers and standard whitewater.

Playboating and freestyle use

This paddle is suitable for both playboating and classic river running. The blade profile also supports more advanced freestyle techniques, where you need to react quickly with the paddle, create stable support, and actively work with the boat in waves or rollers.

• Playboating: For active riding in waves, rip currents, and rollers.
• Freestyle: The blade's cross-sectional profile is suitable for technical and dynamic maneuvers.
• Classic downhill races: For smooth paddling on rivers and standard whitewater.
• Technical Applications: For support, footwork adjustments, and changes of direction in the current.

Duralumin pole for a sturdy and durable foundation

The 707C.0 model uses a duralumin shaft. This provides a sturdy and durable foundation for versatile use on rivers and in whitewater, where longevity and durability during normal operation are essential.

• Duralumin pole: A sturdy design for hiking, river trips, and whitewater rafting.
• Durable design: Suitable for regular use by both beginners and more advanced riders.
• Practical design: For paddlers looking for a sturdy paddle at an affordable price.
