The Pace is a paddle for kayakers wanting premium materials and premium performance.  The Pace blades are constructed using foam core technology which provides a significant buoyancy increase on the water.  This foam core construction allows the blades to act as a paddling assist on the water.  The blades are also edge guarded with ABS material to prevent chipping or damage to the edges of the blade.  The smooth back of the blade provides stealth like entry and exit from the water.  The dihedral angle of the blade maximizes performance with ease of use.  The Pace is an excellent choice for the expedition kayaker.
