Quick Blade Paddles

Introducing the Elite Racer paddle.
COMING SOON. At 16 oz, the Elite Racer is our lightest, stiffest standup paddle. We use an all carbon pre-preg shaft with our hollow molded carbon handle. We then build a custom, all-carbon, high-pressure molded, lightweight blade to match. The result is a paddle that’s nearly half the weight of most standup paddles on the market. If you’re serious about going fast, the Elite Racer is the paddle for you.

Making Paddles since 1989

QuickBlade products are the natural evolution of paddle performance founded on years of competitive racing by Jim Terrell. Jim's paddling career began in southwest Ohio on the Little Miami River near his hometown of Milford.

The signature feature of all QUICK BLADE paddles is excellent performance. A quick catch at the beginning and a clean exit at the end of the stroke prompted the name QUICK BLADE. Only after determining the ultimate requirements for performance, was the compromise of strength, durability, lightweight and cost addressed.

Many of the top canoeists and kayakers worldwide are using paddles designed and built by Jimmy. Six of the eight members of the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team have QUICK BLADE Paddles. See the Team Quick Blade Page to see our team
