Ninja Carbon Whitewater Paddle — Ergo Neutral Bent Shaft
A stable stroke with an ergonomic hand position.
The Spade Ninja combines offset carbon foam core blades with an Ergo Neutral bent shaft. It is designed for smooth, stable strokes on whitewater, with an ergonomic grip position for greater wrist comfort.
Offset blades for a stable stroke
The Ninja’s blades are offset relative to the shaft. This design helps the blade follow the direction of your stroke for a smooth, stable feel with reduced flutter.
Foam core blades with a protected edge
The PVC foam core adds buoyancy to the blade, giving it a natural tendency to rise towards the surface when submerged. A protective Dynel cord edge helps resist wear and impacts.
Blade area: 730 cm² — our standard whitewater blade size. The Ninja is offered in one blade size.
Ergo Neutral Bent Shaft
The Ergo Neutral shaft provides a classic ergonomic grip position and is an option for paddlers who experience wrist fatigue with a straight shaft. The shaft design is suitable for both whitewater and freestyle paddling.
This Ninja model uses Ergo Neutral. The Ergo Power Torque shaft is not recommended for the Ninja because its blades already feature an offset design.

Reviews
This is the second paddle that I have had from Ophion. I upgraded to this after buying a new kayak as the ordering experience from the first time was so good. I paddle left handed and speccing this from Ophion was a breeze on their website and via email. This paddle took 14 days from placing the order in Slovenia to it being delivered and used in the UK. Very fast delivery, very cool paddle. It's unbelievably comfortable when paddling and tracks beautifully. Thanks so much Ophion Paddles.
