Description

IPIK

 

IPIK is the lightest Greenland paddle Gearlab Outdoors has ever designed at 600 grams. Thanks to the unique 3D wrapping construction offering the best strength-to-weight carbon fiber Greenland paddle on the market.

 

 

3D Carbon

IPIK boasts an all new 3D carbon construction that intertwines the full paddle with continuous strands of aero grade carbon fiber. This results in superior strength, weight reduction, and a distinctive visual pyramid pattern.

Soft-Shouldered

The gently sloped transition between the loom and blade draws on a classic Inuit design to ensure quick hand-positioning, increased leverage, and intuitive paddle control.

Built Into Every Gearlab Paddle

Original ProTek Tip
Gearlab’s signature ProTek tip design bolsters the ends of Gearlab Greenland paddle with an easily replaceable tip made from a durable polyamide material. This provides confidence in rocky or shallow waters, and the option to customize a paddle with colored tips.

——

Diamond Joint
The innovative metal-free carbon spring joint design snaps securely together to ensure a flush, firm connection between the blades. The result is a paddle offering two-piece convenience and a streamlined, one-piece paddling experience.

——

Titanium Hardware
Aerospace grade Titanium screws are used in all Gearlab Greenland paddles, ensuring that even the smallest element of a Gearlab paddle remains strong and rustproof.

——

Two Piece
All Gearlab Greenland paddles feature a two-piece design that separates quickly for convenient transportation and storage on the kayak deck. The low-profile carbon fiber button release creates a flush joint and sleek paddle shaft.
