TNP Rapa Carbon 727C.2YP: Two-piece adjustable paddle with a carbon shaft

Rapa Carbon 727C.2YP: A lightweight, versatile choice for WW

TNP Rapa Carbon 727C.2YP It is a two-piece whitewater paddle with a carbon shaft, PAC blades, and an adjustable Vario YP joint. It is designed for a wide range of paddlers—from beginners to experienced paddlers—and is suitable for classic river running, playboating, and technically oriented freestyle.

The carbon shaft is lightweight and responsive, while the Vario YP connector allows you to adjust both the length and the blade angle in an instant. The paddle can therefore be easily adapted to different boats, paddling styles, and on-water conditions.

Vario YP: Tool-free adjustment of blade length and angle

Clutch Vario YP It allows you to smoothly extend the paddle by up to 10 cm and adjust the blade angle to any position. You can do all of this quickly, without tools and without having to take the paddle apart. For SUP paddles, the manufacturer states that they can be extended by up to 20 cm.

• Any blade angle: Settings based on the rider's personal technique and preferences.
• Lengthening by up to 10 cm: Continuously adjustable length for kayaking.
• No tools required: You can make the adjustments without a key or any other tools.
• Without taking the paddle apart: You can adjust both the length and the angle without disassembling the entire unit.
• SUP uses: The SUP paddle system allows for an extension of up to 20 cm.

Two-piece carbon fiber pole for transport and storage

The carbon shaft is divided into two sections, which makes it easier to transport and store the paddle. The two-piece design is practical for traveling by car, storing gear, or for paddlers who don’t want to carry a long, one-piece paddle.

• Two-piece design: Easier to transport and store than a one-piece paddle.
• Carbon fiber pole: Low weight and rapid power transfer during engagement.
• Practical Travel Tips: Ideal for use in a car, a duffel bag, and limited storage space.
• Quick customization: The Vario YP allows you to adjust the settings even after the paddle has been assembled.

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 construction creates a strong and durable blade with carbon-reinforced properties, ideal for regular paddling on rivers and in whitewater.
