Paddle Guide
A paddle for stand up paddle boarding consist of three parts:
- Handle - The paddles are ergonomically designed to fit the palm of your hand.
- Shaft - The shaft is considered the most important part of the paddle. The material of a paddle makes a big difference to the performance.
- Blade - Broad flat surface of the paddle
