About ZRE

Since 1973, ZRE has been an ultimate producer of high-performance paddles and cross-country ski poles.

We continually adapt the latest aerospace materials and design techniques to the sporting industry. That’s why Zav’s have stood alone as the choice for elite racers around the world.

The lighter weight and superior characteristics of our paddles and poles will result in a faster, less-fatiguing, and more enjoyable sporting experience for every enthusiast!

ZRE makes the highest quality and lightest paddles available. Each paddle we make is a 3-piece design, and custom sizes are available. Visit a link below to learn about each ZRE paddle style.

ZRE received Outdoor Life Network’s Best of Gear Guide Award in 2001. Our paddles were awarded top-of-class 4-Star Reviews from three independent judges at the awards:

"The lightest out there at 8.5 oz. and the best balanced paddle with the most comfortable grip I’ve ever used."
– Wayne Dickert
"It weighs about the same as a candy bar and is the sweetest paddle I’ve ever canoed with."
– Lisa Densmore
"This space-age black thunderbolt goes into the water without a sound and sticks like concrete."
– Lecky Haller
