Badger Paddles Tripper

Wooden Canoe Paddle

The Tripper paddle is the best-selling model from Badger, and is very popular for solo or tandem paddlers and perfect for gentle rivers and lake/loch paddling.

The Tripper canoe paddle is a traditional otter-tail shape with a mid-sized blade. It has a smooth, quiet stroke and is particularly effective in deeper water where the whole blade can be submerged at the midpoint of the stroke. For those looking or a high-end Badger paddle for shallower water, the BadgerTail would be more suitable.

Constructed from oiled Cherrywood, which is a close-grained hardwood. This is a strong and light paddle with a gentle natural flex when pressure is applied. As with all Badger paddles there is a dihedral transitional ridge along the spine of the blade. This provides strength and a smooth flow of water around the blade, resulting in fluid and efficient paddle strokes.

Each Badger Tripper comes supplied with a paddle sock to protect against scratches and scrapes in storage or transport.

Forest Edition Tripper: We also have a limited number of Forest Edition Tripper paddles available in the UK. These have a custom engraved paddle tree on the blade to give a unique look. For every one of these paddles sold, the One Tree Planted organisation will plant one tree in a tree planting project somewhere on the planet.

Badger Paddles have a smooth oiled finish which looks beautiful, is easy to care for and offers a lovely in hand feel.

Every Badger Paddle comes with a Transport/Storage sock.
