Gara Odin Surfski Paddle

Gara Odin, a surfski paddle built for speed and precision.

The Gara Odin series is designed for paddlers who live for clean catch, effortless glide, and all-condition performance. It’s a lightweight, teardrop-shaped paddle that feels sharp and responsive from the first stroke—whether you’re racing, training, or chasing bumps on a downwind run. Built for power and flow, the Odin range offers two options: the standard Odin and the smaller Odin Small, allowing you to tailor your setup to your strength, cadence, and paddling style.

Usage

The Odin series is all about efficiency and flow. Its refined teardrop shape gives a quick catch and clean release, letting you accelerate instantly and maintain speed through rough water. The blade feels smooth in flat conditions but truly shines when linking bumps or driving through side chop—offering just enough bite for power without sacrificing cadence.

Both versions feature Gara’s stiff, lightweight carbon layup, ensuring excellent energy transfer and durability while keeping swing weight to a minimum. Whether you’re an endurance racer or a downwind addict, the Odin range rewards rhythm and precision.

Odin Small vs Odin Standard

Odin Small – Slightly reduced surface area makes it ideal for smaller or lighter paddlers, long-distance training, or anyone aiming for a higher cadence with less strain. It’s easier on the shoulders and perfect for maintaining smooth technique over extended sessions.

Odin (Standard) – Offers more bite and drive for stronger paddlers or those looking to maximize acceleration in surf and race conditions. The added surface area gives extra leverage when you need to dig deep and push through heavy water.

Choose the Odin Small for endurance and efficiency, or the Odin Standard for raw power and ocean performance—both deliver the same signature Gara precision and feel.
