Being wider than the rest of the Badger paddle lineup, it is also a popular choice for paddlers who like a short powerful blade that provides great acceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMost river paddles offer a more squared-off blade. Because the folks at Badger are sticklers about smooth and quiet blades, they have created this traditional version with a more smoothed out fluid blade to pull through the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to Badger's other models this paddle has a higher shaft to blade ratio allowing for more leverage on the river for steering strokes. Pack-boat paddlers, who sit on the bottom of the canoe, have also found this to be an effective paddle because they can have a shorter overall paddle where the shaft is suitable for their stoke and the blade, being shorter, is easier to get in and out of the water from a sitting position.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBadger\u003c\/em\u003e’s signature hand shaped transitional ridge (between the shaft and blade) allows for a strong backbone traveling well into the paddle blade. It then gradually tapers into the blade allowing for uniform flex towards the center. The ridge also creates a smooth flow of water around the blade on the surface allowing for a more smooth and fluid stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a Badger Paddle Sock for transport and storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Badger Paddles","offers":[{"title":"51 in","offer_id":50720158941470,"sku":"1-Bonga-Cherry-51 in","price":204.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"54 in","offer_id":50720158974238,"sku":"1-Bonga-Cherry-54 in","price":204.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"57 in","offer_id":50720159007006,"sku":"1-Bonga-Cherry-57 in","price":204.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"60 in","offer_id":50720159039774,"sku":"1-Bonga-Cherry-60 in","price":204.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"63 in","offer_id":50720159072542,"sku":"1-Bonga-Cherry-63 in","price":204.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/4395\/2414\/files\/badger-bonga.jpg?v=1779192614","url":"https:\/\/www.trailheadpaddleshack.ca\/products\/badger-la-bonga-cherry-canoe-paddle","provider":"Trailhead Paddle Shack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
