MAKO ST – Super Tourer

Effortless Efficiency. Endless Adventure.
 

The MAKO ST (Super Tourer) is designed for paddlers who want to spend more time enjoying the journey and less time fighting their paddle.

Featuring a refined, smaller blade profile, the ST delivers a remarkably smooth catch and stable feel in the water while significantly reducing fatigue over long paddling sessions. It is the perfect choice for expedition paddlers, sea kayakers, recreational tourers and anyone looking for maximum efficiency with minimum effort.
 

Designed to Paddle All Day

The ST combines a smooth entry with a progressive, confidence-inspiring catch that feels light through the water without sacrificing forward drive.

Its versatile blade shape accommodates a variety of paddling styles and allows the blade to enter the water efficiently across a wide range of stroke angles. The smaller blade encourages a smooth cadence and effortless body rotation, making every stroke feel natural and relaxed.
 

Because the ST generates less resistance during the catch, it places less stress on the wrists, elbows and shoulders—making it an outstanding choice for long-distance paddling or those returning to the sport after injury.*
 

Perfect for Low-Angle Touring

The smaller blade allows the ST to be paired with a slightly longer shaft while maintaining excellent propulsion. This makes it particularly effective for:

• Low-angle touring techniques.

• Wider sea kayaks and recreational kayaks.

• Expedition paddling.

• Long-distance events.

• Cruising and day touring.

• Fitness paddling.

Whether you're paddling for an afternoon or crossing a coastline over several days, the ST maintains a smooth, efficient rhythm that conserves energy kilometre after kilometre.
 

Why Choose the ST?

• Light, smooth catch with excellent blade stability.

• Reduced fatigue during long paddling sessions.

Paddle Further. Paddle Smarter.

The MAKO ST is the paddle of choice for paddlers who value efficiency, comfort and endurance over brute force. Designed to reduce fatigue while maintaining excellent forward drive, it is equally at home on a leisurely day paddle, a multi-day expedition or a long-distance event.

​

Once you experience the effortless feel of the ST, you'll understand why so many touring paddlers choose efficiency over a larger blade.

​

While many paddlers find the ST's reduced blade loading more comfortable, those with existing injuries should seek appropriate medical advice before returning to paddling.
