Description & Features
Sawyer 10 Barrel Pub Beer Oar brings together Sawyer's MXS composite oar construction, DyneLite PRO Wide blade performance, and custom Pub Beer graphics created in collaboration with 10 Barrel Brewing.

Materials & Construction
Longitudinal Fiberglass Shaft Construction
This construction uses fiberglass fibers aligned lengthwise along the shaft to maximize strength, flex consistency, and durability. By running fibers longitudinally, the shaft maintains a smooth, predictable bend under load while resisting fatigue and failure over time. The result is a balanced flex profile that feels responsive and forgiving on each stroke, ideal for long days and variable river conditions.
Fiberglass Shaft Reinforcement
Standard fiberglass shaft reinforcement adds durability and protection from repeated loads and impacts. It helps the oar hold up through demanding rowing conditions and long days on the water.
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.
Tite-Set Blade Lock System
The Tite-Set Blade Lock creates a secure, fail-safe connection between shaft and blade. It eliminates rattle, prevents loosening, and allows easy blade changes when needed.
Rope Wrap & Rubber Stop
A rope wrap with a rubber stop protects the shaft at the oarlock contact point while improving balance and control. The stop prevents the oar from slipping through the oarlock when released, keeping your oar secure and within reach. This setup reduces wear and maintains consistent performance over time.
Laminated Fir Barrel Grip
The laminated fir barrel grip gives you a natural, responsive feel with the composite shaft. A vinyl rubber cover adds comfort and a secure hold for long days on the water. Choose standard or small grip diameters to match your hand size and rowing style.
10 Barrel Pub Beer Graphics
A custom Pub Beer logo wrap gives the MXS shaft its distinctive 10 Barrel appearance, while coordinating Pub Beer graphics on the DyneLite PRO Wide blade complete the collaborative design. The graphics distinguish this package while retaining the underlying performance and construction of Sawyer's MXS and DyneLite PRO components.
