A square tipped paddle, well suited for beginners in a variety of water conditions, the Quessy Aspen is a wooden canoe paddle with a comfortable pear shaped grip at the top. With a varnished finish and an inlaid resin tip the Aspen paddle is extremely hard wearing and will hold up well to catching rocks on the tip (usually the area which suffers most wear and tear). Aspen wood offers excellent strength to weight ratio and makes for a lightweight paddle which is stiff and durable. The rectangular blade excels on mixed depth water and can be used comfortably on everything from casual days out through to tripping on multi-day paddles. Wooden paddles are popular because they are usually lighter and warmer in your hands than plastic or alloy counterparts. As a result they have a nicer feel to the paddle. Available in a range of lengths the Aspen is a great entry wooden canoe paddle.
