Muskrat Paddle Sports presents a full line of Synthetic kayak and canoe paddles. Each one is custom built with pride in Chatham Va, by James Keatts. Welcome To My Page, ENJOY
Each vinylester composite blade is hand made by experienced craftsman, using only
the finest resins available. The blades are actually laminated "around" an epoxy shaft for
unsurpassed streangth. Additional layers of reinforcing materials are then added to high
abrasion areas to combat wear. This meticulous process guarantees that you will recieve the
best quality paddle every time. We can also cut any custom blade style.
We offer blade layups using Kevlar, Graphite, and Kevlar/Graphite materials.
We can use these materials by themselves or in combinations to make a lightweight but
extremely tough and durable paddle.
All paddles use high strength epoxy shafts with oval indexing for blade control. The shaft extends nearly the entire length of the blade. Breakdown paddles using one peice stainless steel spring/push buttons are also available.
We are completely flexible during our design process. This allows us to offer you any color at no additional cost. Our basic colors are: RED, YELLOW, GREEN, PURPLE, ROYAL BLUE, DARK BLUE, BLACK. We are also able to create swirls using any of our base color combinations.
If custom is your bag, put in an order for a fabric layup. Send us your fabric or use
one of our in stock patterns. Design a paddle that is truly unique!
Also available from our custom shop, upon request we can embed your name and telephone
telephone number. Right into the Blade! This feature is unremovable and aids in the return of a lost or stolen paddle.
