Blade shape and feel

The Horizon Blaze shares the Ngaru's wide, elongated 670 cm² blade (51.5 cm × 17.8 cm) — a generous, all-round Euro profile that generates powerful, sweeping forward drive with a forgiving, progressive catch. The blade loads smoothly and exits cleanly, making it equally comfortable for paddlers still developing their stroke and experienced tourers who want a dependable all-day blade. The Etha-lite Foam Core keeps the blade buoyant and lively between strokes, and the Hydrophobic Nano Coating sheds water cleanly on every exit. The Nano-Coated Ergonomic Grip on the straight shaft provides a secure hold in all conditions.

Construction and weight

The Horizon Blaze is built from Toray T700 Blue Carbon Fiber in a 6K+3K Hybrid Weave — the same high-quality T700 carbon as the standard Ngaru, finished in a distinctive blue weave that gives the blade its visual character. Structural Carbon Weave Reinforcement throughout the blade ensures durability without adding unnecessary weight. The Vector Smart System provides tool-free feathering adjustment. Weight: 798 g at 208–218 cm — notably lighter than the standard Ngaru, making it the sharper performer of the two.

Length and sizing

Available in 208–218 cm (798 g), adjustable within the range to suit your height, boat width, and stroke style. The 29 mm shaft diameter suits most hand sizes. As with the standard Ngaru, this range suits a wide variety of paddlers from beginners to experienced tourers, set it shorter for a higher-angle stroke in a narrower boat, longer for a more relaxed cadence in wider hulls.

Intended use

The Horizon Blaze is built for touring, sea kayaking, and open-water paddling — anywhere the standard Ngaru excels, the Horizon Blaze performs equally well, with the added distinction of its Blue Carbon finish. It suits paddlers who want a premium all-round touring blade that stands out from the crowd, and those who appreciate the craftsmanship of a limited-edition carbon weave without sacrificing everyday usability.
