Enigma Code Red Paddle

Lightweight Touring Kayak Paddle

The Enigma Code Red is a carbon shaft paddle offering lightweight performance at a fantastic price! The carbon shaft has a 2-piece design with infinite feather adjustment and length adjustment between 215 and 225cm. The 215-225cm length adjustment suits a range of kayaks, from narrower sit-in day tourers and sea kayaks, to wider sit-on-top kayaks and fishing kayaks.

Having the option to adjust the length while paddling also offers advantages to getting the most from your paddling in changing water conditions. The adjustable shaft ferrule clearly displays the feathering angle and length you can set your paddle at. The adjustment clamp features an easy-to-use lever-style lock and is constructed from a tough, corrosion resistant plastic design for excellent durability in saltwater use. The shaft features an ergonomic oval grip for good paddle control.

The Code Red features a mid-sized blade design with a classic touring shape to suit a wide range of paddlers. These have great catch and power transfer during the paddle stroke, and the dihedral blade face provides smooth strokes with minimal blade flutter. This offers superb performance to translate the energy you put into a paddle stroke to propelling your kayak forwards with minimal energy loss!

Code Red vs Code Carbon?

The carbon option offers a touch more stiffness in the blade and overall a lighter paddle. Both are lightweight and are a joy to use, especially for paddling over longer distances. The Glass Blade option weighs in at ~780g and the Carbon Blade option at just ~740g! Both come supplied with an Enigma Paddle Bag to keep your paddle protected during transport and storage.
