Badger Tail Cherry Canoe Paddle

Beautiful cherrywood beavertail shape paddle.

A traditional and popular design for UK conditions and waterways, this is Badger Paddles take on the traditional Beavertail style blade. Badger's design has a wider blade tip which provides more power than a traditional beavertail in deep water. The additional tip width becomes a significant advantage in shallower water where you can't immerse the whole blade in the water.

These stunning hand crafted canoe paddles are a truly functional piece of art. Each Badger Tail paddle is carved from a single piece of cherry wood, creating a beautiful paddle that is unique, strong and comfortable.

Cherrywood is a close-grained hardwood which offers an incredible balance of strength, natural flex, and weight. With a gentle oil finish the beautiful natural colour of the wood really rounds out a near perfect choice of material for any canoe paddle.

Badger’s signature hand shaped transitional ridge on the back face of the Badger Tail paddle is a subtle continuation from the paddle shaft that gradually tapers into the blade allowing for uniform flex towards the centre of the blade. This provides added strength and creates a smooth flow of water around the blade on the surface allowing for a more smooth and fluid stroke.
