Gara Racing Paddles are based in Durban, South Africa and produce world-class kayak paddles for marathon, sprint, river and surf ski paddling.
Gara combines years of experience in paddle manufacture with fresh, ongoing input from top paddlers like Hank McGregor. Hank is nine-time World Marathon Champion and current World Surfski Series Champion.
The Odin XS is just like Gara’s best all-round paddle, the Odin, but scaled down specifically for the smaller paddler or for ultra distance races.
The Odin S is a smaller version of our most popular product, the Odin. This blade is very economical and is suitable for lighter paddlers, and for ultra distance events.
The Odin is a lighter paddle that is teardrop shaped. The design of the paddle allows the paddler to achieve an earlier catch and an efficient exit. This is Gara’s best all-round paddle.
The Odin L is the big brother of the Odin, specifically designed for the stronger paddler, for sprints and marathons. The Odin L has a greater forward catch, helping with acceleration and top end boat speed.
