The Brača XI Van Dusen is the newest addition to the Brača-Sport paddle line. It was originally designed by Ted Van Dusen in 1992 after three years of development and testing. Due to the high demand, Brača-Sport added this special shaped blade to the product line by purchasing a licence from Ted in 2014.
The blade has a special twisted tear-drop shape which facilitates a powerful catch which provides the paddler with excellent third stabliity in rough conditons. The clean exit of this blade lends itself well to paddlers wanting to run a high cadence on a lower volume blade.
This is the marathon layup with blades reinforced with kevlar tips for down river conditons and competiive portage situations in marathon races! This blade paired with a 19K shaft makes an excellent choice for the Avon Descent.
