These paddles are an exact copy of the Bracsa I and Bracsa IV but with proportionally smaller blade size to better fit the needs and capacity of young athletes. The 'tear-drop' blade was designed specifically for children. Recommended for athletes under 65 (kg) / 143 (lb). Special hollow glass fibers and reduced carbon content allows this paddle to be light yet to retain its overall strenght and durability.
