Diablo’s spun fibre dragonboat paddle allows for exceptional grip from catch to exit. It has a small flex factor that allows for exceptional feel, and is shoulder “friendly”. Because of its overall light weight, higher stroke rates are easily accomplished by lighter crews. For heavier crews the solid grip and shaft flex allow long steady power phase strokes at slower stroke rates often flavoured by these teams. This it the blade for those athletes who are technically minded and enjoy feeling the stroke!

• IDBF PS202a approved
• Available in different colours
• Weight: 450 – 510g

The adapter temporarily transforms the Concept2 Indoor Rower into a machine that simulates the dragonboat paddling stroke while making use of the Indoor Rower’s digital display monitor which tracks important workout information. The dragonboat paddling adapter is an effective tool that plays an important role in the training and testing of competitive dragon boat paddlers worldwide.

The paddle adapter offers:

• A more direct line of pull from the catch on either side, more closely simulating "on-water" forces.
• The seat of the rowing machine is utilized, preserving the overall length of the adapted rower to its normal 7’11".
• The "pull point" of the adapter is located higher.
• The adapter allows for a quick change between rowing and paddling modes.
• The adapter will fit on either the Concept2 Model C or Model D Indoor Rower.

The new paddle adapter makes use of the Indoor Rower’s Performance Monitor to track stroke rate, power output for each stroke, as well as elapsed time and distance in meters.
