Since the first foam core glassfibre blades produced by Ainsworth in the early 70’s we have continued to push the boundaries of composite technology. We have a large range of paddles from entry level to professional. Our current AFT construction is way ahead in providing lightweight, bouyant paddles that can take a level of abuse far in excess of our competitors.

the computer generated diagram details theblade profile
- the professional range of paddles utilises a unique new manufacturing method, producing high quality, lightweight, stiff paddles- a hollow section into the back of the blade, that reaches almost to the tip of the paddle, so the overall weight of the blade is lighter than water - so it floats!- exceptionally fine edges reduce resistance on entry to a minimum and these lightweight blades are compliN100: - complimented by high spec. composite shafts

TECHNOLOGY‘T’ Grips

Ainsworth continues to develop new concepts in the manufacture of helmets. They offer significantimprovements over other manufacturers. Our shells are up to 10mm thick and have shock absorbent properties that outperform all others. The CE approval test demonstrated that while other helmets often only stood up to a single impact before degrading, SKID LIDS remained effective over multiple impacts. They also offered up to five times as much shock absorbency.
This outstanding performance is achieved by a unique manufacturing process, invented by Ainsworth. The shell is made from Elastomeric Polyurethane, reinforced with graphite and glass fibres. This construction is not only tough, but also offers better heat insulation than other methods of construction. The helmets incorporate an Acrylic caped tough ABS skin, available in in various colours. They have soft, comfortable, washable liners that are fixed with Velcro.

Ainsworth takes pride in creating the strongest, lightest and most durable paddles on the market. We use a unique construction method which allows the blades to float, thereby offering the user maximum efficiency.
Ainsworth is so confident in the performance of its paddles that it offers a massive 3 year warranty. The warranty applies from the date of purchase and is restricted to the original purchaser. It covers defects in materials and craftman-ship under normal use.
Damages due to abuse, negli-gence or normal wear and tear will 4e0repaired or replaced for a very reasonable charge.
