The secret is out. Peter Bucinno manager of Viking Athletics' Research and Development facility let it be known that work has been completed on Viking's new VIMAX paddle and that production has started. The VIMAX paddle utilizes a new multi-layer core technology, coupled with Viking's SURTAR bonding technology, that creates a paddle with great power and control. Viking's latest offering will be available in demo form to teaching professionals in mid to late January, and available for retail sale in February.
