SUP Paddles for Your Aquatic Excursions

To successfully navigate your paddleboard, the paddle is indispensable as it assists with propulsion, balance, and steering. You just require a single paddle, and with the proper technique and appropriate paddle length, you're well on your way. When purchasing a new paddle for paddleboarding, several factors come into play, with the main focus on paddle length, which we'll cover below to guide you properly.

What Paddle Length Suits My SUP Journey?

SUP paddle lengths differ based on your paddling activities. For casual stand-up paddling, which is the most prevalent, the paddle should be approximately 20 cm (8 inches) taller than you. Surf paddles are typically shorter, whereas racing paddlers often opt for a longer paddle.

For recreational or family paddleboarding, adjustable SUP paddles are a wonderful option. They allow for quick modifications to suit different heights.

Apart from length, the material of the paddle influences both its performance and cost. Aluminum paddles are budget-friendly and accomplish the essentials, while paddles made of carbon fibre or wood cater to racers or seasoned paddlers.

Equally crucial for paddleboarding is the paddle leash. This safety accessory should always be worn, enhancing both safety and convenience. Explore our range here - SUP Leashes.
