The next-generation flagship paddle from Gearlab Outdoors, crafted with UD high-rigidity carbon for unmatched strength-to-weight performance. With a refined shaft that feels natural in your hands, an effortless joint connection, and the sharpest edge we’ve ever created, the IPIK transforms every stroke into smooth, powerful motion.
The new IPIK debuts in Obsidian Black — a finish inspired by volcanic glass, forged sharp and resilient by nature itself. Its bold geometric pattern reflects both strength and elegance, embodying the spirit of exploration at the heart of every Gearlab paddle.
Unidirectional Carbon Power
Constructed with Unidirectional (UD) high-rigidity carbon, where all fibers are aligned in a single direction for maximum strength and stiffness. This elite material is common in top-tier performance gear but rare in paddlesports, giving the IPIK a unique balance of lightness and rock-solid power.

Sharper Than Ever
With edges thinned to nearly half the profile of the Kalleq, the new IPIK slices into the water like a blade. Every catch feels immediate, every stroke clean and precise, delivering more glide for less effort.

Refined Shaft Grip
The loom has been subtly reshaped with a slimmer diameter. It’s a small adjustment you will feel instantly. The paddle nestles naturally into your hands, reducing fatigue and keeping your grip relaxed mile after mile.

Effortless Connection
Our optimized two-piece joint makes assembly smooth and intuitive, clicking into place with less effort.
On the water, it feels as solid as a one-piece paddle, so you can focus fully on your rhythm.

Built Into Every Gearlab Paddle
- Original ProTek Tip
- Gearlab’s signature ProTek tip design bolsters the ends of Gearlab Greenland paddle with an easily replaceable tip made from a durable polyamide material. This provides confidence in rocky or shallow waters, and the option to customize a paddle with colored tips.
- Diamond Joint
- The innovative metal-free carbon spring joint design snaps securely together to ensure a flush, firm connection between the blades. The result is a paddle offering two-piece convenience and a streamlined, one-piece paddling experience.
- Titanium Hardware
- Aerospace grade Titanium screws are used in all Gearlab Greenland paddles, ensuring that even the smallest element of a Gearlab paddle remains strong and rustproof.
- Two Piece
- All Gearlab Greenland paddles feature a two-piece design that separates quickly for convenient transportation and storage on the kayak deck. The low-profile carbon fiber button release creates a flush joint and sleek paddle shaft.
