Sport Rafting
Raft Lula Paddles
Lula recommends paddles with larger blades and specially reinforced blades and shafts for rafting. Regular slalom paddles can be used, but racers’ experience shows that slalom paddles are not strong enough.
Lula has extensive experience with rafts. It is a supplier of paddles to many teams. Two types of blades are a good choice. The Jiras blade and the Lula blade.
While the Jiras blade is a pure slalom blade, good for artificial courses and deep water, the Lula blade is slightly concave and is great for downhill racing and shallow water.
Raft Paddle Shafts
Lula is a company that manufactures its own carbon shafts. The diameter of the shafts ranges from ⌀ 27-30mm, with the possibility to choose the material of the shafts.
Lula offers harder full carbon shafts for adult athletes, softer ones for juniors and soft ones for children. Specially reinforced shafts are made for rafting paddles.
For children, Lula offers a “growing paddle”. Such shaft can be extended by 10cm using plastic or steel clip.
