Description
Built for boaters who prioritize efficiency, ease of use and reliable performance on big and short mileage days, the NRS Advantage Oar Shaft tops aerospace-grade aluminum with a cushioned, ergonomic indexing handle for super strength and comfort.
Features:
- Heavy-duty construction, with double-wall reinforced aluminum tubing.
- Protective low-friction exterior polyethylene sheath increases durability and enhances glide for more efficient strokes.
- All shafts are heat tested to prevent material migration within the polyethylene blended shaft.
- Ergonomic handle features a rubber-cushioned palm swell to reduce hand fatigue.
- Indexing thumb contour on the handle allows you to quickly orient the oar blade by feel, keeping your focus and eyes on the line.
- Compatible with NRS blades (Helix, Advantage), Carlisle Outfitter blades, and Cataract blades (Cataract, Cutthroat, Magnum, Streamlite).
- Blades are sold separately so that you can choose the width and brand that best suits your needs. The removable blades also permit easy storage and transport.
Note: Shaft lengths are listed as the final length, which will include the approximately 27" long blade you choose (sold separately). For a list of ACTUAL shaft lengths, please see the Specs section.
