Designed for the maximum efficiency during long distances and crusings.
The blade doesn’t have volume so it generates the best low pressure possible for the maximum power to increase your speed. There are nice reinforcements on the top and on the back of the blade to insure you the best durability.
You have also a great double concave for the best mix between drive and power.
The full prepreg carbon shaft gives you the best dynamic and the T handle is wondeful for precision.
The Select paddle is THE long distance and touring paddle !

Paddle size:
This is the charte size to choose your paddle’s sizes.
Before, please, note these points :
– Usually, a small SUPer prefers the smallest size in the charte, the opposite for a tall SUPer.
– A shorter paddle than what this charte advise will be more maneuvrable on the wave and allow you shorts turns and to put more angle on the board.
– On hollow waves, use a shorter paddle to be closer to the face in barrels and to reduce turn’s diameters.
– A shorter paddle means more frequency but is painless for your shoulders.
– A shorter paddle is advised for short and thin boards. This charte is designed for beginners on a big board from 11′ to 12′ like a NFA 12′ for example. Please, reduce the size of 1 or 2 inches per foot less. For example, a 6’2 tall SUPer will use a 79” on a 11′ or 12′ board, a 77” on a 10′, a 75 on a 9′, and a 73” on a short board like 8′ or less. So it is usefull to ride a paddle of your exact size when your are an expert.
– A short paddle is great for windy conditions.
– A long paddle is so powerful and efficient for take offs.
– A long paddle gives you a better balance.
– The more your paddle is long the more “row effect” you have, so the most difficult is to paddle straight.
– You definitely need more than one paddle in your quiver : you can break it and you need to choose it regarding to the conditions of the session and save your shoulders.
