Kober Spicy EFC whitewater paddle with Vario pitch

The Kober Spicy EFC is a sporty whitewater paddle with a foam core and front blades that impresses with its very good price-performance. The fiberglass laminate with the integrated EFC full foam core keeps the weight low and the buoyancy high. With the pre-storage, Kober is following the current trend in paddle construction. In combination with the strong groove, this ensures that pressure builds up quickly. The guide rib typical of Kober stiffens the blade for the most direct possible power transmission. For everyone who likes a lot of traction and prefers to work at speed in whitewater!

The slightly flexing fiberglass shaft is easy on the wrists, both with strong pulls and with stone contact. With the T7 division, this paddle can be disassembled into two parts and, if necessary, adjusted in length and number of degrees. This makes the paddle particularly suitable for long flights and small storage space. The T7 division consists of an aluminum clamping ring with a quick release. This means that the paddle cannot shift even under heavy loads. The interlocking shaft parts allow the paddle length to be increased by up to 10 cm.

Since May 2023, Kober has also been using the improved T7 pitch for whitewater paddles. The slot on the quick release was rounded off towards the inside. The load at the transition from the quick release to the paddle shaft is therefore reduced. In addition, the inner sleeve, which engages with the quick release or the shaft tube, was additionally reinforced with carbon. This is intended to reduce shaft breaks of the paddle at the pitch. However, a break, especially when touching the bottom during the Eskimo roll or when using the paddle bridge (inappropriately), can never be completely ruled out in white water!
