Bending Branches Navigator Paddle

Lightweight | Resilient | Built for the Long Haul


Why We Like It The Navigator Paddle brings together advanced tech and timeless beauty, crafted for those who appreciate effortless strokes and unmatched durability. Hand-built with dense, lightweight woods and wrapped in Rockgard® for ultimate protection, this paddle gives you a quiet, smooth entry and exit with each stroke—a difference you’ll feel when out on calm waters or tackling a long stretch of river. The natural buoyancy of the wooden blades offers a forgiving, floaty feel that takes the edge off those longer days on the water. Perfect for flatwater, sea kayaking, solo, and pack canoeing, this is the paddle you’ll want on every adventure.


Product Details

  • Blades: Crafted from basswood and red alder, these 96 sq. inch blades give you a soft, low-angle stroke, perfect for anyone who prefers a relaxed, horizontal paddling style. Wood provides a flexible, forgiving feel that’s easier on the shoulders and arms—ideal for all-day sessions.
  • Quiet Performance: Wood blades deliver the quietest paddling experience, especially compared to plastic or composite options. Ideal for fishing trips when you want to keep things silent and smooth.
  • Rockgard® and Fiberglass Protection: The blades are coated in Rockgard® with a 2 oz. fiberglass layer, sealing in the wood’s natural resilience and keeping it protected against wear from riverbeds, rocks, and rough portages.

Shaft and Ferrule

  • Shaft Material: Constructed with Satin T-700 Carbon—Bending Branches’ top carbon material—for unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio. The ovalized shaft provides a comfortable grip, reducing the chances of blisters and improving control.
  • Ferrule System: Featuring a reliable snap-button ferrule with 3 adjustable feather angles (0° and 60°, left or right hand). The carbon ferrule insert is light and secure for long-lasting, wobble-free performance.
