Enigma Code Paddles

Length Adjustable Sea Kayak & Touring Paddles

The Enigma Code touring and sea kayaking paddles features an ovalised carbon shaft which is comfortable to hold and lightweight. The option of a Fibre Glass, Carbon or Carbon Foam Core blades allows you to choose how stiff and rigid you want your paddle to be depending on your paddling requirements and personal preference. The Foam Core Carbon blades come on a silky smooth neutral bent shaft and are a great choice for reducing wrist strain. All models come with a free Paddle Bag.

These 2 piece paddles offer multiple adjustment options not only with an infinite feather adjustment allowing you to choose the feather you feel most comfortable with but also a huge 100mm of adjustment in the shaft length.

This versatile paddle has been designed to offer you a lightweight, stiff and powerful paddle which can be adapted to suit your paddling style and for a range of conditions. The unique shaft length adjustment feature means that you are able to change the length of the paddle shaft within a range of 215cm to 225cm. This allows you to adapt the paddle to the width of boat you are using and most importantly your chosen preference for what feels most comfortable. Many sea kayakers will use a shorter length for higher angle strokes on lively water or in surf and the longer length for low angle strokes on calm days. Varying the shaft length and paddling angle can provide relief from repetitive movement on extended trips so helping you cover more distance with less fatigue. 

This adaptive paddle features allows this paddle to become your everyday which can adapt to different conditions all in one paddle. If you are paddling against wind you are able to switch to a higher feather angle to prevent the wind from tugging at the blades. If on a longer trip on calm days you can go to zero feather and avoid the in hand rotation so reducing the chance of developing blisters. 

The di-hedral blade design creates a smooth stroke with minimal blade flutter through the water. The mid-sized medium to high angle blades of the Enigma Code paddles are ideal for short coastal exploring trips. They are also suited for long distance day or multi day trips without getting fatigued which some people find with a full-sized blade. The fibre glass blades are a little more forgiving with a slight flex at the tip whereas the Carbon blades provide a stiffer more precise feel that maximises energy to power conversion.

Overall the Enigma Code design is a great choice if you require high quality and durability in an everyday paddle. Through its adjustment you are able to find what feels most comfortable for your personal paddling preferences and requirements. At 780g for a Fibre Glass blade and 740g for a Carbon Fibre blade this will be a comfortable paddle for every trip on the water.
