Select Paddles dynamism comes from our unequalled technological know-how and passion. Our team is proud to develop the most highly technical paddles on the market. Excelling in impeccable service, Select Paddle is a French plant, manufacturing 100% of our products with precision and efficiency. When you buy one of our paddles, you can be sure to receive an exceptional product and that we will always be by your side. Select Team ABOUT TECHNO. / R&D TECHNO. SELECT TECHNOLOGy The Select products, inspired by aeronautical technologies, rely on 3 essential phases in their manufacturing processes : • Components : A paddle is a very technical piece, made in top of the range, hardwearing composite materials (Carbon, Kevlar and Fiberglass). Select only manufactures pre-preg paddles, thanks to a technique called mastered amount of resin. This technology from the aircraft industry means steadiness and reliability for our products. • Molding : The use of metal molds enables us to make perfect geometries and firing. • Assembling : A blade or a tube consists of inserts with different spreads to reach the right balance between reliability and the search for the optimum weight. Research & Development R&D The R&D team has worked with a group of very high-level paddlers, which, combined to the Select Paddle staff and its huge experience in the engineering of composite materials, gives us a strong added value. Our team consists of experts in all disciplines, favoring knowledge transfer with our technicians. The many hours spent on the water and in the workshop enable us to constantly improve our range of products. The machining and the digital cutting being inseparable from the final quality of the product, we use the most reliable materials with the most innovative manufacturing tools to make our paddles. Make the most of the fruits of our experience and sail with our paddles. How do you choose your paddle ? 5 A good paddle must let itself be forgotten. It cannot, at anytime, create the least We owe this feather angle to the athletes who practice sprint kayak : they noticed that blades forming a 90° angle with one another offered much less aerodynamic resistance on the aerial blade. This advantage was even more pronounced with a headwind with which a significant part of the energy of the paddle stroke was lost in pushing some air ; Not to mention the decrease of the rate of striking build-up due to this resistance. After decades of 90° crossings, angles were decreased to : • 45 > 60° with touring paddles. • 55 > 65° with wing paddles. • 30 > 45° with white water paddles. discomfort, either for the experienced paddler or for the occasional user. SEVERAL PARAMETERS MUST BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT TO CHOOSE A GOOD PADDLE : 1 Boat’s width The decrease of the angle enabled a more comfortable paddle stroke. The 30° and 45° reductions helped limit the movement of the wrist (mostly the right one) responsible for pivoting. You must know the width of your boat. This measurement is important as it’s essential to determine the length of your paddle. There’s a multitude of kayaks on the market, but it’s nevertheless easy to determine three sizes : • Small : from 48 to 55 cm • Medium : from 57 to 63 cm • Large : from 65 cm Left or right crossing ? 90 % of people do right crossings ! For left crossings, don’t panic, we make these paddles on demand. The Vario S Lock 2 & S-Lock System also offers the possibility of adjusting crossing angles. Caution Values in the choice table (on n°9 of this document / p.10) are for medium boat (width from 57 to 63 cm). Reduce length by 5 cm for a’Small’ boat (width from 48 to 55 cm) or increase length by 5 cm if your boat is large (over 65 cm). 2 6 Your size • The ergonomic shaft enables the paddler to keep the alignment of his arm with his hand. The effect of this is less joint stress on the wrist and much more contact surface with the shaft. It is a comfortable hold and we recommend this type of shaft on TOURING paddles for experienced paddlers who perfectly master their hand placement as the small ergonomic area imposes a very precise positioning. On “white water” paddles, which are regularly under 2 meters, the hand positioning is done more out of instinct and this is where the ergo shaft can bring a comfort in use from the very first use. We have 3 adjustment systems which enable you to change the length of your paddle. (see S-Lock System, S-Lock 2 System & Fast-Lock System (point n°7 / p.8). 7 Your style of paddle stroke / 2 differents styles • “Hi angle” > A vertical paddle stroke : The paddle is close to the boat’s bottom, the directional stability is good. It is a dynamic paddle stroke : Rates of striking are high and the search for brace is important. Power is the goal to reach in order to do fast maneuvers, some physical conditioning or to maneuver in difficult conditions. It is the European style, which is taught in many paddle sport schools. • “Low angle” > A more horizontal paddle stroke : The catch is softer and rates of striking are lower. The movement of the paddle is rounder. Directional stability on boats with no fin nor rudder is not as good. It is less tiring for muscles and joints during long trips. It is also very good for backaches ! The low angle style comes from North America. 4 The Shaft • The straight shaft is the shaft that is used most often as the hand positioning is free on its whole length. Your height is also determining for the length of your paddle. If you are between 155 and 165 cm tall, you will have a shorter paddle than someone who’s height is between 175 and 185 cm, and if your height is over 190cm, you will need an even longer paddle ! And this is true regardless of the type of boat you are using. 3 Feathering / What is its purpose ? Size of the blades Fixed or adjustable paddle length : Some purists only swear by fixed paddles. We used to be like this too, before we started to develop our own adjustable shafts! Most of the existing systems are, as far as we are concerned, not very reliable in the rotation blocks and, moreover, the flexion of the shaft is impaired by double collars. From this fact, we developed our own adjusting systems and we designed adjustable tubes with constant flexion. Fixed or Mono : This option means that you have no displaceable adjusting system on your paddle. The length is fixed. S-Lock : The Vario S-Lock can be adjusted over 10cm, with an infinite choice of feathers. It also enables you to adjust your paddle with more precision. This option is recommended for all the paddle-users who want to customize their paddle as much as possible. It depends on the paddler’s level of experience and of its physical condition. • Large : For those who are powerful and in a good physical condition. • Medium : The most representative size, the most polyvalent one. S-Lock 2: The Vario S-Lock 2 is an evolution of the famous S-lock system. Light, compact, it is functional without any tool. It can be adjusted over 10 cm, with an infinite choice of feathers. It also enables you to adjust your paddle with more precision. You can compare this to a bicycle bracket : A Large paddle takes in much more water and the rate of striking will be lower and will ask for more power. With a Medium paddle, the rate of striking can increase without needing to develop a strong power. Fast-Lock : The Fast-Lock can be adjusted over 9cm, by 3cm intervals. It enables you to quickly adjust the length of the paddle without altering its feather angle. PADDLE CHOICE PADDLE CHOICE How do you choose your paddle ? Choosing a Touring paddle 8 Values in the tables (on right-hand side) are for medium boat (width from 57 to 63 cm). Reduce length by 5 cm for a’Small’ boat (width from 48 to 55 cm) or increase length by 5 cm if your boat is large (over 65 cm). ovalisED Tube or No ? Some kayaking practices require index to help hands position during paddling. This index is usually called «Paddle grip» • The oval shaft is an evolution of this paddle grip. Main assets for the grip: Quality and comfort handling to offer an excellent paddle control during eskimo roll, sailing in a strong current... • The «Racing» paddle is not equipped with a paddle grip. But you can order it as an accessory. We do not recommend to put a paddle grip on a race paddle, as it will interfere with the stroke. 9 Your Program Last parameter but not least : your program choice : you have already answered this question buying your kayak or canoe. > 3 kayak programs : • White Water • Touring • Racing Three tables were established following sailing programs : Touring High-Angle Paddle - (Medium boats / Width from 57 to 63 cm) Paddler’s Size paddle Models paddle Lenght 152 > 160cm 205 200 > 210 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE 162 > 170cm 210 205 > 215 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE 172 > 180cm 215 210 > 220 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE 182 > 190cm 220 215 > 225 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE 192 > 200cm 225 220 > 230 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE adjustable adjustable adjustable adjustable adjustable Touring Low-Angle Paddle - (Medium boats / Width from 57 to 63 cm) paddle Lenght Paddler’s Size paddle Models 152 > 160cm 210 205 > 215 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE 162 > 170cm 215 210 > 220 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE 172 > 180cm 220 215 > 225 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE 182 > 190cm 225 220 > 230 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE 192 > 200cm 235 230 > 240 X.TR - X.BLADE - X.TREK - X.FIBER - X.ONE adjustable adjustable adjustable adjustable adjustable Choosing a White Water paddle The size of the paddle depends a lot on the type of boat that is used. The volume should be taken into account : A short paddle will be interesting for the beginner and the playboater (hard to do moves with a bulky paddle) ; A longer paddle will yield more power in difficult rivers where maneuvers must be very precise. This table is intended for help only and not as something to impose. It only reflects the global trend. Choosing a Canoe paddle Important note : for Small volume boats > please consider the first recommended value in red. Here is a simple way of determining the length of a canoe paddle : Sit down on a chair or on the floor, then measure the distance between your eyes and the seating. This measure will help you choose your paddle in the following table. Important : This is only a way of validating an approach. The best way of choosing a paddle, as far as possible, is to try it out.
