| From REI:The Ikelos is an aggressive high-angle design for paddlers who demand great power and bite for fitness paddling, racing or athletic touring. - Carbon fiber shaft is ultra-lightweight and offers a bit of flex for paddling comfort
- Blades and shaft are constructed using high-quality, continuous-weave carbon fiber for an exceptionally light weight-to-strength ratio
- Stiff nature of carbon fiber enhances energy transfer and lightens swing weight
- Carbon fiber/foam-core blades create a unique profile that enters and exits the water quietly and adds buoyancy for a light feeling stroke
- Blade design with ribless back smooths the sculling stroke; asymmetrical dihedral shape delivers a flutter-free stroke for less fatigue
- Ridge along the grip area creates comfortable hand contact with the shaft, maximizing user's ability to control the stroke with a light grip
- Adjustable Ferrule System allows elegant adjustment of feathering angle from 0° - 75° right or left in 15° increments
- Remarkably light swing weight reduces overall fatigue on long paddling excursions
- Drip rings help keep hands and lap dry
