In the Navigator, Bending Branches has combined high-tech, ultra lightweight, T-700 carbon shaft material with a proven blade design made out of rich-looking black willow wood. The material combination provides unique flex and the unmatched fit and finish you expect from a Bending Branches paddle. The result: a smooth pull through the water, and reduced shoulder and arm fatigue. Proprietary Rockgard protection starts at the tip and wraps around the leading edge. Each blade is reinforced with fiberglass to provide durability not seen in most lightweight paddles. If you are looking for beauty combined with unsurpassed fit, finish and durability in a lightweight paddle that flexes to meet your paddling style, look no further. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Review: | I bought this paddle for my husband for his birthday. It arrived damaged, however, Bending Branches was wonderful about sending me a new one and a label to return the damaged one. My husband just tried it for the first time yesterday and he absolutely LOVES it. He let me try it :) and I cannot believe how quiet it is and how light...I just may ask Santa for one of my own! | ||||

| Review: | This is an awesome paddle. My other paddle is a CF Werner Camano and this paddle at 1/2 the price is just as light and easy to paddle. The only feature it lacks is the ability to infinitely adjust feather. The Navigator can only be adjusted from 30 degrees right to zero to 30 degrees left. That is not a drawback for me as I only choose the 30 right setting anyway. The shaft is carbon fibers and ovalized and is finished in a very smooth satin. There is very little difference in the shape of the blade from the Camano and for my use it is every bit as powerful. The blades are a stunning natural wood coated with fiberglass and the tips are protected from rock damage with a fiberglass edge. I ride a Pygmy Arctic Tern and this beautiful wood grain paddle in conjunction with that boat draws very favorable comments every time someone sees it on the water. I highly recommend for anyone! | ||||
