When selecting the blade of your oar it is important to consider surface area, feel at the catch, and handling in the water.
Smoothie2 Plain Edge: First developed in 1996 and refined in 2006 to its current form, the Smoothie2 plain edge broke the boundaries of traditional wooden blades and has become established as the benchmark of Concept2 blade innovation. Featuring greater surface area at the tip, and curvature for increased depth control; the smoothie2 provides a sharp feel at the catch and stability in the water. The smoothie2 plain edge is the precursor to the Smoothie2 Vortex Edge and Fat2 blades. Dimensions: Blade Length: 46 cm Width at Tip: 21.5 cm, Broadest Point: 21.5cm Smoothie2 Vortex Edge: Development of the Vortex Edge began in 2000, with the goal of improving blade efficiency and connection at the beginning of the drive. The Vortex Edge tapers the tip of the smoothie2 blade and adds a vortex-generating strip, resulting in a firmer feel at the beginning of the drive, with the same reliable depth control associated with the plain edge blades. The smoothie2 Vortex Edge is particularly effective when used with larger catch angles. Dimensions: Blade Length: 46 cm Width at Tip: 16.5 cm, Broadest Point: 21.5 cm Our largest blade, the Fat smoothie2 with Vortex edge provides even greater purchase and efficiency in the water. The Fat2 blade is designed to be used with considerably shorter overall oar length than our other blades, with the large surface area of the blade providing the pressure as opposed to an extended oar angle. The blade shape and curvature follow the same proven design principles of the Smoothie2 Vortex Edge, giving the Fat2 blade the same excellent stability and depth control of it’s smaller predecessors. Dimensions: Blade Length: 46 cm Width at Tip: 16.5 cm, Width Broadest Point: 23 cm |
