Sawyer DyneLite Wide Oar Blade
The Sawyer DyneLite Wide Oar Blade is the lightest whitewater proven blade they make. To make these, carbon fiber is laid over a laminated Douglas fir core, resulting in an oar blade that is stiff, super tough, and incredibly light.

This blade is much lighter than my previous one and feels more responsive in the water. The Dynel and Kevlar tip holds up well against rocks. I’ve used it in several whitewater runs and it hasn’t shown any wear yet.

Great balance between weight and strength. The Tite-Set lock is reliable and stays secure even during fast currents. The finish feels durable and doesn’t scratch easily.

Light and stiff, it performs well in rapids. The tip protection is noticeable and helps prevent edge damage. Slight improvement in feel could be made, but overall very satisfying.
