COBRA are race blades / wing blades with an easy and efficient stroke, making them great for down river, marathon and multisport racing. These blades are designed to deliver maximum performance and due to the design, can enable powerful transitions - giving an advantage for racing.
The twisted tear-drop shape of the blade also supports torso rotation - which utilises the back muscles thus minimizing arm fatigue.
Multisport and marathon paddlers will also appreciate the smooth feel of the stroke, helping preserve energy on those long runs.
Cobra MIDI is suitable for juniors 13-18 and women.
These blades have alloy tips to minimise wear (for use on rivers)
Note: Paddles with alloy tips are only suitable for use in freshwater. See below the alternative recommended blades for use in saltwater.
