Description
JANTEX GAMMA RIO
One of Jantex’s most successful shapes (Jantex Gamma) has been fine tuned to create the Gamma Rio blade. Developed in co-operation with Max Hoff extra sizes were added to create the Gamma Rio range with the addition of some minor changes to the larger blade sizes. This ensures a paddler can choose the best size blade to suit their use.
This is now the most popular blade shape in the Jantex range.
This blade provides an aggressive very stable catch, improved stability, excellent pull through stage and outstanding exit. It is very flexible with the frequency of strokes.
There are 12 kayak blade sizes giving more options and finer gaps between sizes.
For a range of paddlers from kids to strongest male paddlers.
