Strangely, paddle effectiveness has never been calculated in a sport where every second counts. Today when professional kayakers choose their paddles based on intuition, Rift&#8217;s measuring practice is said to be a revolution. While paddle shapes have never been patented, they are loosely regulated as well. Our prototype paddle offers patented alterations to an existing shape to avoid copyright infringement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rift.hu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MORE INFO VISIT RIFT PADDLES WEBSITE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Best Paddle is a Hungarian startup\u00a0established in 2016 by a team of sport and business professionals and academic researchers. &#8220;Around 40 years ago,\u00a0wing paddles were game changers in kayak sport.
