Those who are familiar with our philosophy know: a paddle without an ergonomic shaft equals a waste of power. The reason being its unique pressure point, which is located in front of your hands thanks to bend shaft. This does not just result in excellent accelaration, but in flutterfree strokes, too. Now, many years after the introduction of our ergonomic shaft, we want to please those, who don't stick with it. Therefore we created a straight shaft paddle, which comes really close to our Ergos advantages. With the Nitro we moved the blade more forward to achieve a more effiecent stroke. It also improves the pressure build-up, moves the pressure point to the front and the reduces typical fluttering of a straight shaft paddle to a minimum. The Nitro certainly makes use of the hydrodynamic lift, which stabilizes the blades in the water and helps improving the pressure build-up making it more even and efficient. The hydrodynamic lift is enabled by the blades' prominent profile combined with the pre-located pressure point.
