SUP Paddles

A quality SUP paddle makes more difference to your session than almost any other single upgrade — the right shaft material, blade size, and fit transforms every stroke.

Aluminium adjustable paddles are the starting point for beginners and casual paddlers — affordable and durable. Fibreglass shafts save meaningful weight and reduce arm fatigue on longer sessions. Carbon paddles are the choice for performance paddlers and racers: rigid, extremely light, and efficient enough to noticeably increase cadence and reduce tiredness. Blade size should be matched to your build and paddling style — smaller blades for faster, higher cadence; larger blades for more powerful, slower strokes.

• Aluminium paddles: affordable, adjustable, and robust for beginners
• Fibreglass shafts: significant weight saving over aluminium for regular paddlers
• Carbon paddles: maximum performance with minimal swing weight for racing and touring

Starboard, Naish, and NeilPryde all produce excellent SUP paddles spanning every level of the sport.
