Chinook Sundowner ONE PIECE carbon racing paddle
The 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!

Interesting site. Thanks. Has comparison been done between Chinook and Apex composites?
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. Please visit : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvYcNmkXIpA to find out more information.
Is the handle near the blade (IE for your lower hand when paddling) elliptical or rounded?
I must thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this website. I really hope to see the same high-grade content from you later on as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has motivated me to get my own, personal site now
The Chinook paddle is Made in China. There are dozens of carbon fiber paddle manufacturers in China who pump out identical paddles and slap OEM stickers on them. The Apex Accelerator is Made in Canada by Canadians who are paid a fair wage for their work.
