THE SHOGUN

A Deadly Weapon

The "Shogun" is wielded by only the most noble warriors. Featuring a never-before-seen Carbon Fiber and Titanium colored polyester face, this paddle is an experimental powerhouse. We opted for an Elongated shape to accentuate the power and pop provided by the surface material. Don't be fooled, while it's more than capable of keeping up with the Filth in terms of power, it offers more control than its Raw Carbon Fiber counterpart.
