BRACA-SPORT" mission and philosophy is to design, develop and produce the best performing paddle for every paddler. We believe that each paddler has different needs and therefore each paddle should be uniquely designed. Different designs work better for different paddlers and environments. Our goal is to continue research, development and creation of a diverse range of products that satisfy the vast variety of paddlers. We are the only manufacturer to engineer paddles in every paddling category: Canoe Polo, Dragon Boat, Flatwater, Freestyle, Marathon, Ocean Racing, Outrigger, Slalom,...

Together with proprietary multi-layer and multi-characteristic lay-up methods of a proprietary blend of composite fibers and a reinforced proprietary UV epoxy resin provides the ultimate mechanical and kinetic capabilities. This enables desired catch, slip, pull-through, flutter and acceleration of the paddle and guarantees these characteristics for every paddle produced, yielding the world acclaimed mechanical energy BRACA-SPORT® paddle. BRACA-SPORT® was first to develop and produce paddles specifically designed for children and young adults. Our proprietary material characteristics and...

This design facilitates application of all power in the beginning of the stroke (catch) only. In these models the blade is fitted into the shaft. Braca Junior is an exact copy of the Braca VI and Braca VII with proportionally smaller blade size and with proprietary material characteristics. The mechanics of the paddle are specifically designed to fit children's physiology. It enables the absorption of impact from each paddle stroke, therefore reducing...

HYBRID (FUSION) MODELS Braca IX and Braca X is the line of Braca paddles engineered using advanced kinetic, biomechanical and material science concepts to combine the best characteristics from multiple paddle designs into one hybrid model. The revolutionary idea enables the paddle to provide different characteristics during each phase of the stroke (catch, drive and exit). It has a very firm catch, and then transitions to the smooth, medium power drive and then to an effortless TECHNICAL PARAMETERS OF HYBRID (FUSION) MODELS The shaft stiffness is our recommendation according to the blade...
