Recreational Paddles

The ZRE Recreational Canoe Paddle delivers pro-level performance in a lightweight, super-strong design. Weighing just 14 ounces, it’s crafted from a durable blend of fiberglass and carbon fiber, using the same proven three-piece construction as our professional models.

Switching from a heavy wooden paddle to this sleek carbon composite design makes every stroke easier, whether you’re out for a casual paddle or covering serious distance. Strong, comfortable, and built to last—the Black Rec paddle is your upgrade to a smoother, more enjoyable canoeing experience.
