Made from 100% carbon, it’s ultra-light and delivers the best stiffness-to-flex ratio. This has been optimized to reduce fatigue over long sessions, while maintaining a precise catch. Say goodbye to shoulder pain. Its one-piece construction also makes it impressively durable.

Adjustable or fixed paddle?

You have the choice between an adjustable paddle and a custom fixed-length paddle. An adjustable paddle is generally recommended if you’re a beginner, if you alternate between cruising and surfing sessions, or if your board is shared among several users. In that case, having an adjustable paddle can be a real advantage.

A custom fixed paddle is a better option if you’re regularly in the water for surfing and already know the paddle length that suits you best, usually very close to your own height. A fixed paddle will be lighter, and its flex will be distributed more evenly along the shaft.
