The paddle is essential to the paddling experience. Even with the best technique, the blade design, surface area and shaft flex will determine how efficiently the paddle will anchor, propel you forward and execute steering strokes. A 3-piece, break-apart, adjustable shaft length paddle is the ideal solution for travelling, supplied with most of our inflatable boards. As for high performance, nothing beats a one-piece super lightweight paddle to improve endurance, minimise injury and add to your joy of paddling, whether for racing, touring or recreation. For a shared family paddle, an adjustable shaft model is your best choice; for everything else, consider our fixed shaft, all carbon paddles which you will cut to suit your physiology, the board you ride and your specialist activity.
