The Bali kayak paddle features a 2-Piece carbon fiber snap-button ferrule and gloss finish. When working with natural products, Winnebago tries their best to minimize waste. All of the wood used in the Bali are re-purposed "leftovers" from previous designs. As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure! Note that given the design, each paddle will look uniquely different from the rest.
