Bending Branches Catalyst Canoe Paddle

BENDPCATALYST~56

The Bending Branches Catalyst is a sustainable canoe paddle handcrafted from basswood, roasted basswood, red alder, and maple remnants left over from first-quality paddle production — giving new life to what might otherwise go to waste. Because each blade is made from wood remnants, every layout is slightly unique. And with $5 from every paddle donated to American Rivers, your purchase supports clean water advocacy too.

At 24 oz., the Catalyst is day-trip ready. Built for comfort and durability, it exceeds Bending Branches' strength testing standards and is designed to hold up to hours on the water. Available in lengths from 54" to 60" (in 2" increments).
