BLADE SHAPES

 

​Every Meek blade shape has its own feel on the water.
The right choice depends on the kind of catch you prefer, the conditions you paddle in most often, and how consistent your stroke is.

Start by choosing the blade shape that best suits your paddling.
Once that is decided, we can help you dial in the right size, shaft setup, and length.

G-SERIES

Stable and forgiving in messy conditions

The G-Series is a parallel-edged blade with a balanced distribution of surface area on either side of the shaft. This gives it a stable, settled feel in the water and helps it stay balanced even when the stroke path is not perfect.  It is especially well suited to messy or unstable conditions, including surf, moving water, and situations where the blade may travel slightly wider or closer to the boat during the stroke.

 

Many paddlers also appreciate the way the G-Series spreads the load more evenly through the stroke, giving it a smoother, more forgiving feel over time. 

​ 

The G-Series is a strong option for paddlers who:

·       want a stable, predictable feel in the water

·       paddle in surf or other messy conditions

·       want a blade that stays forgiving when the stroke path varies

·       prefer the load to feel more evenly spread through the stroke

·       may be managing sore shoulders and want a smoother feel

Popular for surf, Ironman and Ironwoman, kayak, and in smaller sizes, multisport.

 

The Clint Flex Blades (AVAILABLE ONLY IN THE G-SERIES SHAPE)

​

The G-Series blade shape is available in either a standard lay-up or a more flexible blade lay-up, called the Clint Flex lay-up. This feature, specific to this parallel edged shape, was developed in partnership with Clint Robinson. 

​​

A more flexible G-Series option designed for paddlers who want the stable, forgiving feel of the G-Series with added flex and feel through the stroke.

 

​

The Clint Flex G-Series uses the proven G-Series parallel-edged blade shape, with a balanced distribution of surface area on either side of the shaft. This gives it a stable, settled feel in the water and helps it stay composed even when the stroke path is not perfect.

That makes it especially well suited to messy or unstable conditions, including surf, moving water, and situations where the blade may travel slightly wider or closer to the boat during the stroke.

What sets the Clint Flex version apart is its more flexible blade feel. Developed with and endorsed by Clint Robinson, it offers increased feel through the stroke and can be a good option for paddlers who want a smoother response or are managing comfort and injury concerns.

​

A-SERIES
 

Strong catch with a clean, easy exit

The A-Series features a twisted tear-drop blade shape designed for paddlers who want a strong catch and a clean, easy exit. With more of the blade’s surface area positioned higher at the catch, it gives a positive feel early in the stroke while still releasing smoothly at the finish.

The A-Series is a strong option for paddlers in ocean, river, and other unstable conditions where a perfectly consistent stroke is not always possible, but a reliable catch still matters.

 

The A-Series is well suited to paddlers who:

·       like a strong, positive catch

·       want a blade that exits the water cleanly

·       paddle in ocean, river, or other unstable conditions

·       want good purchase at the front of the stroke

·       are looking for a shape suited to ocean paddling, multisport, adventure racing, and kayak use

Most popular for ocean paddling, multisport and adventure racing, and kayak.

B-SERIES

Strong catch for technically consistent paddlers

B-Series 2026

The B-Series is a teardrop blade shape for paddlers with a more consistent stroke who want a stronger catch, especially in flatter water. It rewards accurate blade placement and is well suited to sprint, marathon, and flatter-water ocean paddling such as harbor or bay conditions.

 

With more surface area increasing from the neck toward the tip of the blade, it delivers a more pronounced catch at the front of the stroke.

To stay stable in the water, the B-Series prefers to move slightly away from the boat during the stroke. That makes it best suited to paddlers with good technique, reliable blade placement, and a consistent stroke path.

 

The B-Series is well suited to paddlers who:

  • have a consistent, established technique

  • want a stronger catch at the front of the stroke

  • paddle mostly in flatter conditions

  • are comfortable with a blade that rewards accurate placement

  • want a shape suited to sprint, marathon, and flatter-water ocean paddling such as harbour or bay conditions

Most popular for kayak sprint, marathon, and ocean paddling in harbour or bay conditions.

 

Blade features

  • Meek lay-up

  • Light and strong

  • Raw carbon inner blade finish

  • Durable construction built for long-term use
