Lettmann Nitro Extreme whitewater paddle with Vario division

With the Nitro Extreme, Lettmann is launching its heavily reinforced version of its whitewater paddle with protruding blades. With the Vario division, the paddle can also be easily transported in the car or on a packraft tour.

The blade is offset to the front in relation to the shaft. The pressure point on the hand is also shifted forward and the paddle has a longer pull path. The smooth back of the blade avoids turbulence when pulling the paddle. Water flows past the profiled paddle blade on the inside more easily and thus creates a negative pressure in the water, which makes it easier to pull the blade through the current. Pressure builds up evenly on the blade, allowing for more controlled movement in the water. In this way you create a strong, flutter-free pull.

The combination of carbon, glass and aramid fibers give the paddle a good balance of stiffness and flex. Many layers of the composite material on top of each other ensure that the Lettmann Nitro Extreme is more stable than regular nitro paddles. In the event of stone contact, the blade is additionally protected with a surrounding aramid edge. Thanks to the foam core, the paddle has high flexural rigidity. The steering maneuvers are even more effective with this paddle and the propulsion will immediately convince you of the Lettmann Nitro.

The Vario division 26 WW of the Lettmann Nitro Extreme consists of an aluminum clamping ring with a quick release. This allows the paddle to be lengthened in any number of degrees and for test purposes up to 10 cm. For standard use, an extension of only up to 6 cm is recommended.

The paddle is also available in the light racing version as Nitro Light and regular as Nitro available.

Of course there is Nitro Extreme also as a one-piece paddle
