The Ultimax runs a large asymmetric Euro blade at 670 cm², measuring 47.5 cm × 18 cm — noticeably wider than the touring-oriented Ashika and Taikiu. This extra surface area translates directly into a more aggressive catch and greater power per stroke, making it the blade of choice when acceleration matters more than cadence efficiency. The blade loads quickly and firmly, with the Toray 3D Carbon Fiber S700SC layup providing a stiff, direct feel that wastes nothing between catch and exit. The Etha-lite Foam Core keeps the blade buoyant and lively in the water, and the Hydrophobic Nano Coating sheds water cleanly on every stroke. The Nano-Coated Ergonomic Grip on the straight shaft gives you a secure, confident hold even in cold or turbulent water.

Built from Toray 3D Carbon Fiber S700SC over an Etha-lite Foam Core, with a Full Kevlar Strap Edge reinforcing the blade perimeter against rock strikes and impact damage. The Vector Smart System allows precise, tool-free feathering adjustment — useful for dialling in your angle in headwind conditions or switching between sprint and touring use. Weight: 746 g (208–218 cm) and 796 g (214–224 cm).

Available in two adjustable ranges: 208–218 cm (746 g) and 214–224 cm (796 g). The shorter range suits most paddlers in narrower sea kayaks or sprint boats using a high-angle stroke; the longer range suits taller paddlers or those in wider hulls. The large blade rewards a powerful, high-angle technique — if you're used to a touring cadence, expect to feel the difference in blade resistance immediately. The 29 mm shaft diameter suits most hand sizes.

The Ultimax is built for sprint paddling, whitewater, and high-intensity sea kayaking where power and acceleration take priority. It excels in tidal races, surf launches, downwind runs, and any situation where you need to move the boat fast. It also suits sea kayakers who prefer a powerful, high-angle stroke on touring days and want a blade that keeps up with their output.

• Sprint and performance paddlers who want maximum catch power from a carbon blade
• Whitewater kayakers needing a durable, high-output Euro blade
• Sea kayakers with a strong, high-angle stroke who want more blade than a touring paddle offers
• Paddlers who want a larger, more aggressive blade
