Description
JANTEX BETA RIO ‘BABY’
The Jantex Beta Rio blade was developed in co-operation with Danish Kayak Champion Rene Holten Poulsen. It is shorter, wider and more twisted than the Beta blade resulting in a more aggressive paddle with better control and excellent exit ability. This blade is designed for well prepared athletes to give maximum acceleration in the first phase of stroke
The New Beta Rio Baby has been made specifically to suit beginner kids.
