The Kanaha all carbon is designed to improve efficiency and durability of the blade, with a slight dihedral on both sides of the blade to improve it's stability during the power phase. This blade has an ABS plastic edge for improved impact strength. The 8” blade is smaller than the regular 9’ and works better when being used for surfing.
