MAKO GT Touring Paddle

One Paddle. Unlimited Possibilities.

 

The MAKO GT Touring Paddle has earned its reputation as one of the most versatile paddles in the range. Designed for paddlers who demand strength, efficiency and reliability, the GT is equally at home on winding rivers, open lakes, coastal waters and offshore expeditions.

Its balanced, confidence-inspiring feel makes it the paddle you'll keep reaching for—whatever the adventure.

​

Engineered for Powerful Paddlers

The GT blade has been carefully designed to reward a strong, efficient paddling style.

​

Rather than delivering maximum resistance the instant the blade enters the water, the GT features a blade profile that places more surface area in the upper half of the blade. This creates a smooth, progressive catch before transferring the greatest power into the middle of the stroke—where the paddler is naturally strongest.

​

The result is powerful acceleration without the harsh loading that can quickly fatigue shoulders and joints.

​

Combined with a subtle double-dished blade profile and strong central reinforcing rib, the GT remains exceptionally stable throughout the stroke, providing smooth power with minimal flutter and excellent control in all conditions.

​
