SUP Paddles

On a SUP, every stroke defines your direction, your rhythm, and the quiet satisfaction of moving cleanly through the water. That’s why the right SUP paddle matters — not as an accessory, but as part of the board’s feel and your connection to the water.

Why SUP Paddles Matter

A well‑balanced paddle protects your shoulders, helps you find an efficient cadence, and makes long crossings feel easier on the body. Blade shape, shaft stiffness, and weight each influence how the paddle behaves. When these elements fit your style, the board responds exactly as you want it to — smooth acceleration, steady touring speed, and less fatigue at the end of the day.

Safety & Functionality

SUP paddles may look simple, but their design works hard for you. Lightweight materials reduce strain. A precise blade profile gives predictable catch and release. Adjustable shafts allow fine‑tuning for different conditions or paddlers. Each feature supports stability, efficiency, and comfort — especially on longer tours where technique matters.

Usage Guidance

For steady touring, choose a paddle with a moderate blade size and a smooth, forgiving shaft. If you enjoy stronger acceleration or fitness paddling, a stiffer shaft and crisper blade give more power. Many paddlers pair their SUP paddle with simple add‑ons like leashes or small deck bags; you’ll find these in our Paddle Accessories collection.

On bright, reflective days, good visibility and eye comfort make a big difference — have a look at sunglasses designed for paddling.

Paddlespot Tip: Set your paddle length so your top arm stays relaxed at shoulder height — it keeps your stroke smooth and your shoulders happy on longer trips.

Buying Guidance

When choosing among SUP paddles, focus on:

• Blade size — larger blades give more power, smaller blades reduce strain.
• Shaft stiffness — stiffer for strong paddlers, more flexible for comfort and long touring.
• Weight — lighter paddles feel easier over time, especially on all‑day outings.
• Adjustable vs. fixed length — adjustable suits varied conditions; fixed offers refined performance.
• Material — carbon for efficiency, fiberglass for comfort and durability.

Care & Maintenance

Rinse your paddle after saltwater sessions, check the locking mechanism on adjustable models, and store it out of direct sun. A little care keeps the shaft smooth, the blade edge clean, and the fit between sections secure.
