Chinook Sundowner ONE PIECE carbon racing paddle
6 Sep, 2010 by Sheree PaddlesThe Chinook Sundowner is a true 1 piece carbon DB racing paddle that weighs in under 400g (for the 125cm (49″) paddle) and uses best quality carbon fibre, epoxy and core materials. Unlike Chinook Diablo which is a 3-piece, mid-to-upper level DB racing paddle, the new Chinook Sundowner is an Upper level DB racing paddle with no glue on spigots or handles.
I also like the handle of the paddle. It’s a combination of T & palm grip – Oval handle! Additionally, the IDBF License Number is print on the paddle – NO more cost on replacement stickers!

Hi Andy
Thank you for your message. Chinook and Apex are both Canada Company. Apex Accelerator and Chinook Sundowner have similar weight, but Sundowner is the new paddle in 2010 and we are still collecting feedback for it.

Is the handle near the blade (IE for your lower hand when paddling) elliptical or rounded?
