All Brača Junior paddles are available with an Adjustable Shaft System. This allows elegant adjustment of overall paddle length (within 5cm range) and blade angle from 0° to 80° right or left in 5° increments. The system also allows you to disassemble the paddle into two parts for easy transportation.
Brača Junior is an exact copy of Brača VI and Brača VII with proportionally smaller blade size and with proprietary material characteristics and mechanics of the paddle that are specifically designed to fit children’s physiology.
It enables absorption of impact from each paddle stroke, thereby reducing shock on the shoulders, elbows and wrists and ultimately decreasing common kayak injuries.
You can also choose the stiffness of the shaft. We recommend a stiffer shaft for bigger blades but any combination is possible. See the shaft stiffness measurement prodecure and parameter table below.
Shaft Stiffnes Measurement Process
IMPORTANT!
Always clean your adjustable shaft regularly!
Store your adjustable paddle disassembled if not used for more than two weeks!
See the maintenance page for details.
