MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY

BRAČA-SPORT® mission and philosophy is to design, develop and produce thebest performing paddle for every paddler. We believe that each paddler hasdifferent needs and therefore each paddle should be uniquely designed.Different designs work better for different paddlers and environments. Our goalis to continue research, development and creation of a diverse range of prod-ucts that satisfy the vast variety of paddlers. We are the only manufacturer toengineer paddles in every paddling category: Canoe Polo Dragon Boat, ,Flatwater Freestyle Marathon Ocean Racing Outrigger Slalom Touring, , , , , , ,Waveski Wildwater.and With a total of 130 different canoe and kayak paddleswith over 400,000 configurations we have the right paddle for everyone.

Our paddles have been designed using the latest technology available, inspiredby the comments and in collaboration with some of the world's most successfulpaddlers and coaches. We invented the revolutionary blade concept‘tear-drop’that redefined paddle performance and is now being copied by other manufac-turers. This has become the de facto blade in the paddling community and the‘ ’world's only mechanical energy paddle concept.

We are the only manufacturer to engineer and produce carbon fabrics andpaddles. This provides the ability to produce a very specific and fine grainunidirectional high modulus carbon (HMC) fabric layers in contrast to what isavailable on the market. The diverse range of specific and fine grain materials isthe key improvement enabler of the paddle's performance characteristics.

� Original inventor of the ‘tear-drop’ concept.� The only manufacturer to engineer and produce carbon fabrics and paddles.� World's first and only mechanical energy paddle.� More than 300 years of combined engineering experience, including aerospace,

advanced composite materials science, biomechanics and kinetics, mechanical,electrical, chemical and software engineering.

� Built to suit different styles, techniques and physical characteristics of each paddler.� First to develop and produce paddles specifically designed for children and youth.� Designer, developer and producer of the largest paddle selection in the world.

KEY FACTS

RESULTS

� Used every level, from world class athletes to children and recreational paddlersat .� Superb durability and outstanding performance.� Over 50 Olympic nd World Championships medals7 Games a .� The lowest break rate in the industryage .� The majority of today’s world class paddlers make BRAČA-SPORT® their #1 choice.

Together with proprietary multi-layer and multi-characteristic lay-up methods of aproprietary blend of composite fibers and a reinforced proprietary UV epoxy resinprovides the ultimate mechanical and kinetic capabilities. This enables desired catch,slip, pull-through, flutter and acceleration of the paddle and guarantees thesecharacteristics for every paddle produced, yielding the world acclaimed mechanicalenergy paddle.BRAČA-SPORT®

BRAČA-SPORT® was first to develop and produce paddles specifically designed forchildren and young adults. Our proprietary material characteristics and mechanics ofthe paddle are specifically designed to fit children’s physiology. It enables theabsorption of impact from each paddle stroke, therefore reducing shock on theshoulders, elbows and wrists and ultimately decreasing common kayak injuries. Theabove technological methods are also used to design and develop paddles forrecreational and senior paddlers.

TEAR-DROP MODELS

Brača I IV FW, and are the original world’s first ‘tear-drop’design and our most widely used paddles. The paddles aredesigned to facilitate application of power in thebeginning (catch) and in the middle of the stroke,enabling capabilities to obtain the “ultimate” forwardstroke.

Brača I Brača IVand are available with Marathon bladeconstruction. This is the result of advanced technologyand a proprietary blend of composite materials, and wasdesigned with the marathon and adventure paddler inmind. The edge of the blade is reinforced with a kevlarlayer that makes it highly impact resistant in extremedownriver conditions.

Brača I Brača IVand are available in the extra light andstiff construction for the athlete who prefers light and stiffcharacteristics.

EXTREME TEAR-DROP MODELS

Brača XIVan Dusen ’92 is the newest addition to the Brača-Sport paddle line.

It was originally designed by in 1992 afterTed Van Dusenthree years of development and testing. Due to the highdemand, Brača-Sport added this special shaped blade tothe product line by purchasing a license fromTed in 2014.

The blade has a special twisted tear-drop shape whichfacilitates a powerful catch and clean exit. It's movementthrough the water is different from other Brača-Sportblades, therefore it requires a slightly different paddlingtechnique.

Brača V is the latest update of the traditional ‘parallel edge’concept, recommended for paddlers who prefer this shapeto the more aggressive‘tear-drop’shape.

Brača III is the ‘parallel-edge’ model and is the preferredpaddle of lighter male athletes.

Brača III 60 is designed for the paddler who prefers a softerblade and shaft.

TECHNICAL PARAMETERS OF PARALLEL-EDGE MODELS

Brača Kid is a ‘parallel-edge’ blade with proportionallysmaller blade size and with proprietary material charac-teristics. The mechanics of the paddle are specificallydesigned to fit children’s physiology. It enables theabsorption of impact from each paddle stroke, thereforereducing shock on the shoulders, elbows and wrists andultimately decreasing common kayak injuries.

HYBRID (FUSION) MODELS

Brača IX Brača Xand is the line of Brača paddlesengineered using advanced kinetic, biomechanical andmaterial science concepts to combine the bestcharacteristics from multiple paddle designs into onehybrid model.

The revolutionary idea enables the paddle to providedifferent characteristics during each phase of the stroke(catch, drive and exit).

It has a very firm catch, and then transitions to the smooth,medium power drive and then to an effortless and forgivingexit.

CANOE MODELS

Brača Canoe Children Brača Canoeis an exact copy of theUni 2000 with proportionally smaller blade size and withproprietary material characteristics. The mechanics of thepaddle are specifically designed to fit children’s physiology.It enables the absorption of impact from each paddlestroke, therefore reducing shock on the shoulders, elbowsand wrists and ultimately decreasing common canoeinjuries.

Brača Canoe Uni Extra Wide is the line of Brača canoesprint paddles designed and engineered to enable a veryquick and powerful catch. This design facilitates theapplication of all power in the beginning of the stroke(catch) and an effortless exit.

Brača Canoe Uni Super Fat is the new line of Brača canoesprint paddles designed and engineered to enable a quick,powerful and very smooth catch. This design facilitates theapplication of all power in the beginning of the stroke andan effortless exit, while preventing stress to the hand andwrist by absorbing the entrance shock, therefore makingthe catch extremely smooth and efficient.
