Both paddles are thermoformed with our (World First) Carbon Fusion Edge Technology.  This results in these paddles having more power than traditional paddles – yet with still great control. The main difference between the Black Diamond Power and the Double Black Diamond Control paddles is the face material. The Black Diamond Power uses a Toray Raw Fibreglass face (a World First innovation), which provides amazing NEXT LEVEL power and pop. This paddle is HOT – and may take some adjustment if you are coming from a traditional soft paddle. The Double Black Diamond Paddle has a Toray T700 Raw Carbon face. The T700 carbon provides superior control and is an easy transition coming from any other type of paddle. Both paddles use Toray materials, a high-quality superior robustness and longevity materials compared to other brands that are supplied by Toray Industries, a globally recognized Japanese manufacturer and specialist in composite materials.
