Introducing ARK CARBON CORK ROCKETS™
After extensive testing and careful refinement, ARK CARBON CORK ROCKETS™ represent the result of everything we’ve learned.
Each pair of ARK CARBON CORK ROCKETS™ is handcrafted one at a time, with care, passion, and attention to detail. At the core lies natural cork, carefully shaped to provide buoyancy, feel, and balance. This core is then reinforced with a thin layer of premium carbon fiber, adding stiffness, precision, and power — without compromising weight. This unique construction allows us to fine-tune every paddle, ensuring consistency, performance, and a connection between material, athlete, and movement.
Built with carbon for power and cork for natural buoyancy, and crafted in Sweden using ecological materials, these paddles balance performance, functionality, and design at the highest level — while being lighter than any paddle we’ve ever made.
Designed with one clear goal: to generate as much speed as possible with as little effort as possible.
This is the most beautiful paddle we’ve ever created — in both performance and design.
Performance & Feel
The ARK CARBON CORK ROCKETS™ design allows you to activate more muscle groups during the swimming stroke. For strong swimrunners, these paddles can be a real game-changer — and they float.
These millimeter-thin carbon fiber hand paddles deliver a sharp, direct feel in the water. The significantly chopped front edge creates a steeper entry angle, forcing a very fast and efficient catch. You will appreciate the extremely low weight during running and in every swim stroke.
Built for Racing
- Optimal stiffness
- As low weight as possible
- Minimal water friction
- Minimum effort, maximum speed
The result is our lightest paddles ever, without compromising power or control — engineered to convert every bit of effort into forward motion.
Stories of losing a paddle during a race are now a thing of the past. With natural flotation, low friction, optimal stiffness, and ultra-low weight — you will not lose these.
Every pair includes a set of custom silicone straps, specifically designed to fit the ARK CARBON CORK ROCKETS™ and minimize water resistance.
Thanks to athlete feedback and thorough testing, the ARK CARBON CORK ROCKETS™ are the result of swimrun evolution and our epic swimrun community — these swim paddles will make you use all the strength you have — efficiently — to reach your goals.
