Program

The Pro paddle is the high-end paddle in the range, designed for paddle enthusiasts seeking exceptional performance. The optimal flex of the paddle ensures unparalleled versatility, adapting to different styles and providing a smooth stroke on the water. Its high-performance and versatile blade shape allows exceptional performance in all areas of SUP, making this paddle the ideal tool for riders with varied practices. With its 490 cm2 blade, the 7 size will be the preferred choice for touring, fitness, and long-distance racing.

Introduction

Performance is the DNA of this paddle. The paddle is 100% carbon to deliver maximum performance with minimal weight. It is very easy to maintain a high cadence with the Pro paddle. The blade is shaped for easy entry and exit from the water without sacrificing performance. The catch is clean, and the paddle is stable during the pull due to the compact surface of the blade. The carbon shaft allows perfect transmission of effort with increased dynamism. With its reduced weight and optimized flex, it is the high-performance paddle with the best value on the market.

ABS EDGE

In addition to its dynamic qualities, the strength of the paddle is reinforced by an ABS edge that protects it along its exposed edge. This rim around the perimeter of the paddle adds an extra layer of protection against shocks, preserving the quality and performance of your paddle and board.

BLADE

The blade’s shape is very smooth at the entry and exit of the water, allowing for sharp and efficient accelerations. The cadence naturally increases with this blade, which tolerates flaws in technique. It maintains great efficiency in paddling even in unstable environments, perfect for fully enjoying each downwind or surf session. The intrados of the blade is flat, providing excellent traction and exemplary stability. The lower half of the blade is curved to provide an excellent catch. A slight V is present on the upper part to stiffen the handle-blade connection and streamline entry into the water. Paddling is easy and powerful.

The extrados of the blade is convex. In addition to maintaining excellent support without sacrificing glide in surfing, it greatly facilitates water exit during paddling without destabilizing, always with a focus on high cadence.

SHAFT

The shaft of the Pro paddle is round and has a standard diameter (29mm). Its medium flex allows excellent dynamism in paddling and remains efficient in all practices.

OVAL HANDLE

The handle is an ergonomic oval handle, very thin, ideal for long sessions without loss of precision. Its shape allows great precision in blade, aerial, and underwater movements.

Choose the paddle blade size based on your weight, practices, and style. As a guideline, here’s what we recommend for an average build:
The 7 blade is preferred for touring and long-distance racing.
The 8 blade is preferred for surfing and versatility.
The 9 blade is preferred for SUP foil and sprint racing.

What shaft size?

The maximum length of this paddle is 220cm, available in two options:

Cut and glued by us to your size (for an additional fee of 20€). Note that this customization significantly extends the delivery time.

Here are some simple guidelines for choosing the length of your paddle:

In surfing, the paddle length is equal to your height.
For touring or SUP foil, add between 5 and 10cm.
Add between 10 and 20cm for racing, depending on your board (hollow deck or not).
