SUP Paddles for Your Aquatic Journeys

A paddleboard paddle is vital for aiding in paddling, balancing, and steering on your SUP. Although only one paddle is necessary, you need the right technique and suitable paddle length to begin well. When purchasing a new paddle for paddleboarding, several factors need to be considered, with paddle length being paramount. This aspect is explored below to set you on the correct course.

Which Paddle Size is Appropriate for SUP?

The size of SUP paddles can differ depending on the type of paddling you plan. Recreational stand-up paddling is the most typical, where the paddle should be approximately 20 cm (8 inches) taller than the user. Surfing paddles are generally shorter, whereas racers usually prefer a longer paddle.

Adjustable SUP paddles are a superb option for recreational paddling or for a family. The length can be quickly set to accommodate both taller and shorter individuals within moments.

Beyond length, the material of the stand-up paddle can influence performance and cost. Aluminium paddles are cost-effective and functional, while those crafted from carbon fibre or wood are ideal for racers or seasoned paddlers.

An important accessory for paddleboards is the paddle leash. For safety and convenience, ensure it is always fastened to you. Explore our selection here - SUP Leashes.
