Our Stand Up Paddle is rugged, light-weight, and easy to use. The dihedral blade allows for an easy "pull" through the water and effortless exit. The ergonomic handle grip provides consistent blade oriented strokes and together they maximize complete efficiency. The teardrop shaped concaved 16" long x 8 1/2" wide spoon blade has a kickback angle of 7° increasing not only the amount of water you catch and hold but also the actual catch phase of your stroke as well. Thus lengthening the power phase while allowing you to keep the paddle close to your SUP creating more lift.
