ARK Carbon Blades™ LTD
ARK Sports don't produce anything without a solid vision. So with increased demand among our athletes for a specific race swim paddle — focusing on optimal stiffness, as low weight as possible, and low friction — we are pleased to release the ARK Carbon Blades™ LTD.
These millimeter-thick carbon fiber hand paddles have a sharp feeling, enter the water surface with minimal friction and give you a direct kickback during the catch while swimming. In addition, you will appreciate the low weight during running.
Every pair of the ARK Carbon Blades™ is handmade in Sweden and includes a set of silicone straps specifically made to fit the ARK Carbon Blades™ and minimize water resistance.
Thanks to feedback and thorough testing, you can now go full race-mode with ARK Carbon Blades™ and swim smooth, fast, and for longer.
- Outer surface in the stiffest carbon fiber available on the market
- Core in biaxial carbon fiber
- High-gloss surface with low friction
- 5 mm diameter silicone straps included
- Handmade in Sweden
