Combining proven Inuit ingenuity and advanced carbon fiber technology, the Akiak is a versatile paddle for all conditions. Sporting a perfectly balanced hydrodynamic shape, it allows kayakers to explore new waters further with ease.

Greenland style paddle blades make contact with the water covering roughly the same surface area as Euro-blades,

Even distribution results in a smoother stroke and more control in the water.

The narrow blade also creates less resistance in the air, with less physical strain.

Gearlab’s signature ProTek tip design bolsters the ends of the paddle with an easily replaceable tip made from a durable polyamide material.

Confidence in rocky or shallow waters, and the option to customize a paddle with colored tips.

Diamond Joint

Gearlab’s innovative spring joint design snaps securely together to ensure a flush, firm connection between the blades. The carbon fiber components will not warp or rust when exposed to any water conditions.

Titanium Hardware

Aerospace grade Titanium screws are used in all Gearlab paddles, ensuring that even the smallest element of a Gearlab paddle remains strong and rustproof.

Two Piece

All Gearlab paddles feature a two-piece design that separates quickly for convenient transportation and storage on the kayak deck. The low-profile carbon fiber button release creates a flush joint and sleek paddle shaft.
