Badger Badgertail Canoe Paddle
Somewhat confusingly called the Badgertail paddle, the shape closely resembles the traditional beavertail canoe paddle design. This shape has more width towards the lower half of the blade, allowing it to still be used effectively in shallower water. A versatile paddle, the Badgertail is powerful, smooth, quiet and considered by many as a general purpose paddle that can be used for all canoeing situations.
As with all of our Canadian made Badger paddles the Badgertail is supplied with an oiled finish that won’t chip or scratch (like varnished) and can easily be re-oiled every so often when the need arises. To look after your Badgertail it is supplied with a free paddle sock to protect it during transportation and storage.
Constructed from Cherrywood, the paddle has a lovely weight and feel to it when it is pulled through the stroke, and the dihedral (centre) ridge on the blade provides a smooth stroke by giving the water a direction to flow around the blade. This ridge sets Badger paddles from other brands, and showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail during their development and construction.

We recommend the use of Badger Oil to maintain your high quality wooden canoe paddle.
Instructions
First prepare the wood by making sure it is clean and dry.
Sand where necessary and ensure the surface is free of loose particles and dust.
Apply oil with a clean rag*.
Use a fine sandpaper to “wet sand” using the oil for lubrication.
Let stand for a few minutes to allow oil to penetrate.
Wipe away excess Badger Oil, if any, with a clean rag then leave to dry for 12 hours.
*For larger applications, a brush, roller, or sprayer can be used
Repeat if necessary. With the number of coats being determined by desired results, amount of use, and exposure to the elements. We recommend a minimum of 4 coats on bare wood. Drying time is approximately 24 to 36 hours. Please allow 24 hours between coats.
