Description
JANTEX BETA
The Jantex Beta (previously known as Beta Rio) was developed in co-operation with Danish Kayak Champion Rene Holten Poulsen. It is shorter, wider and more twisted than the original 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. It can be difficult when changing the frequency of the stroke.
The New Beta blade comes in 12 sizes.
Suitable for a wide range of paddlers (from kids to TOP strongest MEN paddlers in each event).

Blade Sizes
The following chart is based on European recommendations. European paddlers are often bigger in stature and more sprint oriented.
In Australia we recommend the following variances:
- Small to Medium blades for Ocean paddling
- Flexi-Soft or Soft Shafts for paddlers doing long distances- Ocean and marathon paddling
- Soft to Stiff Shafts for sprint paddlers – Soft for sprint training and stiff for sprint racing
