An ABS (thermoplastic polymer) edge around the entire blade, which improves the blades durability and decreases its susceptibility to cracking and splitting.

How to Size Your Stand Up Paddleboard Paddle

As a general guide for sizing a flatwater / race paddle is to add 8 to 10 inches to your overall height to determine the paddle length. However, depending on the type of paddling you intend to do and board style, it may vary. The reason we give a range is because of the differences in technique, boards and water conditions. Just a note: For stand up paddle racing, recently we have been seeing the trend move towards a shorter paddle shaft length and smaller blade size for paddlers with a shorter / faster sprint style paddling technique. 

1. Surfing: 6-8″ above your height
2. Flatwater / Racing: 6-10″ above your height depending on comfort.
