With the same strength and flex pattern as the regular 29mm shaft, the Speedster RDM racing blade integrates a parallel edge outline that gives racers a quick and precise catch. The parallel edge outline also helps release, allowing for a faster motion through the water.

Additional Information

Who is the 100% Carbon Speedster 86 RDM for

NSP paddles usually come with a standard diameter of 29mm, which we have found to be the perfect fit for most paddlers, by a very large margin. These standard-diameter paddles will work in all paddling conditions that you can participate in. By creating the RDM version of the Speedster, NSP recognizes that a select group of paddlers prefers a reduced diameter though.

Note:

When handling carbon high-performance products like the 100% Carbon Speedster 86 RDM, NSP recommends the use of appropriately padded bags.
