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

Height of paddle

To maximise your enjoyment on the water you need to have the correct paddle length/height for the type of paddling you decide to do. We suggest you go for between 8-10" above your head for flat water paddling.
