Materials & Construction

X-Weave Shaft Reinforcement

X-Weave Shaft Reinforcement uses a fiberglass wrap with carbon fibers woven in an X-pattern to strengthen the wood shaft. It adds stiffness and rebound for a more efficient stroke, without feeling harsh on your joints. The result is a more durable oar that keeps the natural flex, feel, and visible beauty of the wood.

DyneLite Blade Construction

DyneLite construction consists of carbon fiber applied over a wood core, creating an oar blade that is exceptionally light, stiff, and highly durable. Proven in whitewater, it delivers powerful strokes with reliable strength in demanding conditions.

Dynel & Kevlar Pro-Tip Protection

The Pro-Tip adds Kevlar and Dynel protection at the edge or tip of the blade, where it takes the most abuse for unmatched abrasion and impact resistance. This tough reinforcement guards against rock hits and hard use while extending blade life and maintaining reliable performance over time.

Marine-Grade Spar Varnish

A premium marine-grade spar varnish finish seals against moisture and UV rays while bringing out the natural wood grain and craftsmanship Sawyer is known for.
