How to choose a dragon boat paddle

Choose Sting+ graphic paddles when you want carbon-fiber construction with full-color graphics on both sides. Choose STEALTH when you want marbleized carbon construction, metallic accents, and a glossy performance finish.2. Choose Clamp or Leverlock
Choose Clamp for the lighter setup, approximately 16 oz, with a 45 in to 51 in adjustable range. Clamp Adjustable uses a hex Allen key wrench for adjustment. Choose Leverlock for a 43 in to 51 in adjustable range and an approximate 20 oz weight.3. Choose a standard graphic or custom team design
Hornet standard graphics are strong for individual paddlers and gift buyers. Custom team paddles are the better fit when a team wants paddles matching jerseys, colors, logos, sponsor graphics, or club identity.4. Choose accessories that protect the paddle
A new paddle pairs well with Dragon Guard, blade covers, paddle bags, paddling gloves, grip tape, and paddle cleaner. These accessories help with protection, grip, comfort, and care.Selected Hornet paddle options
