The Salish is a hybrid design where we have combined a high aspect shape with a teardrop into a 460cm2 or 500cm2 blade size.
With its subtle scoop, vertical sides and square shoulders it has a forgiving yet solid catch with more power than you would expect from a blade of this size.
Originally designed for smaller paddlers the Salish has grown to be one of our most popular shapes among paddlers of all sizes.
The Salish features a 460cm2 carbon blade and a 26mm fixed length filament wound carbon shaft.
The regular shaft is ideal for regular paddlers who want a smaller blade for less fatigue or higher cadence.
High performance for smaller paddlers, or regular paddlers who want a smaller blade.

The clamp on the adjustable shaft is unique to Blackfish; designed not to crush the shaft but to hold it securely in place without damaging its integrity.
