Cataract

The Cataract oar blade. Built for whitewater.

This is the original Cataract Oars blade offering. It remains a fixture for rowers who value durability combined with enhanced buoyancy. While all of our oar blades float, none bob so vigorously as the Cataract. Hence the blade’s sobrioquet: “floater.” Cataract Oars offers an optional tip protector to envelop the Cataract’s lower extremity in a rugged sheath of dip-molded rubber.

This blade is already sturdy as heck, but with the tip protector added, it’s almost indestructible. The Cataract oar blade measures 6 ¹/₄” in width.
