SUP Paddles for Your Aquatic Adventures

A paddleboard paddle is vital for propelling, balancing, and steering on your SUP. You only need a single paddle, and with the proper technique and the right paddle length, you can get off to an excellent start. When purchasing a new paddle for paddleboarding, consider a few factors, with paddle length being paramount. Guidance on this is provided below to set you on the right track.

What Paddle Size Is Suitable for SUP?

The length of SUP paddles can change based on the style of paddling you intend to pursue. Recreational stand-up paddling is the most widespread, and the paddle should be approximately 20 cm (8 inches) taller than the user. Surfing paddles are generally shorter, while racers typically select longer paddles.

Adjustable SUP paddles are a brilliant option for leisurely paddling or family use. They can be rapidly adjusted to fit both taller and shorter individuals.

Apart from length, the material of the stand-up paddle can influence both performance and cost. Aluminium paddles are cost-effective and cover the basics, whereas those crafted from carbon fibre or wood are better suited for racers or seasoned paddlers.

An additional crucial item for paddleboards is the paddle leash. Always ensure one is attached to you for safety and convenience. Explore our collection here - SUP Leashes.
