The Bolt Standard and Bolt Slim utilize the same new blade used on the Maliko which is a shorter and wider (LAR) shape. This paddle is excellent for all-around recreation paddling, SUP surfing, and SUP foiling. The Bolt is offered in both standard and slim shaft, ensuring an excellent fit for any paddler. This shaft is softer than the Maliko, which makes it very comfortable for everyday paddlers and beginners. Once cut to the appropriate length, the Lever Lock adjustment system allows you to maximize your paddling comfort and versatility. The shaft and blade have a higher glass composition, so while slightly heavier than the Maliko and Battle, the higher glass content makes the Bolt very durable. The shaft is compatible with both SIC’s Ergo2 CTL grip and Lever Lock adjustable grip.
