The world’s best selling Greenland paddle - the Kalleq by Gearlab Outdoors, is a Greenland paddle for you to explore the extraordinary. Designed for endurance and pure elegance. The name Kalleq tributes to lightning in Inuit.
Light and Strong
A 220 cm blade is constructed with 700 grams of seamless carbon fiber to ensure the most comfortable, streamlined and durable paddling experience. The exclusive carbon fiber weave is reinforced with threads that make it virtually impossible to tear. Available only on the Kalleq, this all black diamond texture resembles the refined and steady power within.
Cut through the Water
Meticulously engineered, the Kalleq edge measures 1.1 mm at its thinnest point. The smoothness of this edge guarantees complete comfort while the paddle slices the water with unparalleled efficiency.
Original ProTek Tips
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.
Pick The Right Size
Size is power. The longer the paddle is, the more power it produces. The shorter the paddle is, the less power it produces. The best of both words, the Regular Size will give you enough power, while relaxing enough for your long journeys.
Built Into Every Gearlab Kalleq Paddle
- Two-Piece Breakdown Design
- 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.
- Diamond Joint Ferrule
- 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.

The Gearlab Kalleq has never let me down! It is lightweight and cuts through the water smoothly like butter. It is my favorite paddle to use and coach with. I have purchased many Gearlab Kalleq paddles, and even though they come with replaceable tips, I have never had to replace mine due to the sturdiness of the paddle. I use my Kalleq for everything; playing in currents at Deception Pass, rock gardening along coastal shorelines and dynamic environments, and surfing big waves. I never leave home without my Kalleq. As a professional paddler, I 100% recommend to anyone from the most advanced Greenland paddling enthusiast, to the gentle fair-weather paddler looking for a light and trustworthy paddle for expeditions.
This Greenland style paddle is an upgrade from a hand-carved Western Red Cedar paddle. It will take many years of use to justify the expense. I am enjoying the light weight, and paddling efficiency (the way in which it interacts with the water) of the Kalleq compared to the previous paddle. Durability continues to be of concern, especially around the Ferrell (the joint where the two halves connect.) Time will tell the full story.
