Product details
Our Reed KING Greenland paddle is a paddle in the style of those traditionally used by the Inuit of Greenland. It is characterized by long, narrow, tapering blades and a relatively short loom, or shaft, that is typically one-quarter and no more than one-third the length of the paddle. Unlike Inuit paddles across the Davis Strait, the loom is not carved in any way that would interfere with the sliding stroke.

 


A Greenland kayak paddle is narrow so the hand can grasp the blade near the end without having to grasp the tip, which on a traditional paddle is connected to the blade by a mortise and tenon joint. So the extreme width of a Greenland blade should be no wider than the paddler can grasp between the web of the thumb and the second joint of the forefinger. A paddle that has a blade too wide to grasp is not a Greenland paddle,because it cannot be used like one.


The Greenland paddle has become increasingly popular among sea kayakers in North America, Europe, and other parts of the world. Apart from its romantic association with the people who taught Europeans to kayak and to roll, the narrow-bladed Greenland paddle is popular because it is easy to brace and roll with and is not very susceptible to strong winds. Also, because it slips a little at the beginning of a stroke, it is easier on the muscles, and thus less fatiguing on day-long trips than wide-bladed “Euro”-style paddles. A further benefit for northern kayakers is that the Greenland kayak paddle is adapted for paddling in freezing conditions.The shoulders where the blades and loom meet make an ice-coated loom easier to grip, while the narrow ends of the blades, which are immersed in water while paddling, offer an ice-free grip for emergency braces and rolls.


The distinct surface on the carbon paddle allows for a firm grip, even when it gets wet. The paddle offers a high-friction surface just like a wooden paddle, yet feels smooth and, as such, protects against blisters on the hands.The joint is a hexagonal carbon fitting secured with a simple snap lock

Custom job

My pogies were great on a Euro paddle, but didn't fit a Greenland stick. For only a little extra, Reed made custom ones. They are asymmetric, with one side snug against the loom, and the other slightly wider to fit where the blade meets the loom. This allows flexibility in use, I can slide my hands on the paddle without restriction.
Because the 'cuffs' stay open, it's easy and quick to put hands into the pogies. I am delighted with them.

Thigh-Length Aquatherm Waterproof Socks
As my personal leg sizes didn't fit with the standard sizes I contacted the company and spoke to the extremely patient and helpful Lucia. For a small fee a bespoke pair were made. The order was placed late Wednesday afternoon and my socks arrived on Friday. Not only was this a super fast service but the socks are a great fit and very well made.
Thank you so much

Spray deck review.

I have bought a few of these spray decks for both myself, friends and club over the years and have had no problems with them other than normal wear and tear. They pack away very small and are very quick drying.

After yet another so called waterproof fishing jacket failed on me I decided to ask on the various fishing groups what they considered to be the best 100% waterproof jacket was and the clear winner was this jacket, I’ve since tried it out and the quality is outstanding, it’s also cut to be perfect for casting and I can confirm it is definitely waterproof, has to be the best jacket on the market by far 100% 👍

Awesomely versatile hood

Been wearing my reed hood in the colder months for years and just replaced with another one. Fits nicely under a helmet for white water kayaking, surf kayaking, or just worn on its own to keep the noggin warm on colder breezy days when not needing to wear a lid. Easy to wear around the neck if it starts getting warm or packs away easily in a pocket. Size large fits me well at 57cm.

The best pogies

I'd tried neoprene in the past and they were always heavy and clammy.
These are light and don't retain water so much warmer in practice.

The stiffened opening makes them much easier to use and means the fabric isn't stuck to your hand.

A bespoke order for a tall guy.

Bought for rowing, namely launch and recovery of a 5 person wooden skiff. Recommended by other rowers, my concern being they might not fit my height...but I emailed and they were happy to ask for measurements. They like to provide a close fit, but tucking my trousers into my socks stopped them riding up. Yet to go rowing but am glad I took the advice of the fleece lined version as will only be using in winter when shorts and wet legs are just too cold for me!

Enquired on Monday, received on Thursday.

Friendly and professional service at a reasonable price.

Simply the best, but….

Nothing compares to Reeds Tuiliq, material, fit, function,…. I can‘t think of anything of importance missing,

But: if you plan any of these great items to be shipped abroad, be prepared to spend a significant amount for customs duties. Very significant.
I dont understand a lot about Brexit, but its definitly not good for this company….nor for myself.
