Specifications
Find the Right Paddle for Your Style
The right paddle improves comfort, control and efficiency on the water. Length, material and setup all influence how a paddle feels during every stroke – which is why choosing the right one makes such a difference.
In our range, aluminum paddles are the durable and value-oriented choice for recreational use, while fiberglass paddles offer a lighter, more efficient and more performance-focused feel. For most paddlers, fiberglass is the ideal middle ground between comfort, performance and everyday usability.
What Length Paddle Do I Need?
The ideal paddle length depends on both your body height and your paddling style. Shorter setups work better for surf-oriented paddling, while longer paddles provide more reach and efficiency for all-round and touring use.
- Surf SUP: approx. 6–8 in above rider height
- All-Round SUP: approx. 8–10 in above rider height
- Race/Touring SUP: approx. 10–12 in above rider height
Why Are Paddles Made from Different Materials?
Different materials affect weight, stiffness and flex. A lighter paddle helps reduce fatigue, while a stiffer shaft transfers energy more directly into the water.
Aluminum is a strong and durable option for everyday use, while fiberglass feels lighter and more responsive on longer sessions. Carbon can be even lighter, but it is also more specialized and comes at a much higher price point – which is why fiberglass is often the smartest upgrade for most paddlers.
Which Paddle Setup Fits Best?
Adjustable paddles are the most versatile option and are ideal for shared use or changing riding styles. Fixed-length paddles are great if you already know your preferred setup and want a clean, more performance-oriented solution.
Convertible SUP/Kayak paddles offer even more flexibility and are a smart choice for riders who want one paddle for different inflatable adventures.
What Should I Choose for My Riding Style?
Your paddle should match how you ride. Casual paddlers often benefit from adjustable and durable constructions, while more ambitious riders usually prefer lighter materials and a more direct paddling feel.
- Recreational use: adjustable and easy to handle
- All-round paddling: balanced weight and comfort
- Touring/performance: lighter materials and efficient power transfer
