⚡ At a Glance
- • Weight & Floatation: Assembled SUP paddle weighs 28 oz, kayak assembled 39 oz, full 4-piece set 44 oz; floats when fully assembled
- • Best for: Travellers and recreational paddlers who need a lightweight, packable convertible paddle
- • Not ideal for: Whitewater paddling or heavy-duty expedition use that demands a one-piece robust shaft
Four-piece carbon shaft converts between SUP and kayak configurations. Anti-twist clamp and locking pin system holds sections securely for on-water use.
Quick Conversion Between SUP and Kayak - with a 4-section convertible design
Four sections join via an anti-twist clamp and locking pin, allowing assembly as a SUP paddle adjustable from 68" to 84", or a fixed kayak paddle at 89" (226 cm). Two drip rings are supplied for kayak use.
One paddle covers both activities, so fewer items are needed when travelling. Secure joints prevent loosening during paddling.
Lightweight and Travel-Friendly - with a premium carbon fibre shaft
Carbon shaft keeps the four-piece set to 44 oz, with the SUP configuration at 28 oz and the kayak setup at 39 oz, and breaks down to a packed size of 33" x 7.2".
Lower weight reduces arm fatigue and improves stroke efficiency on longer outings. Compact pack size fits in luggage or a board bag for easy transport.
Adjustable Length for Different Paddling Styles - with clear length settings and recommendations
SUP length adjusts between 68" and 84", with manufacturer guidance to add 6–8" for SUP surfing, 8–10" for flatwater, and 10–12" for racing; kayak length is fixed at 89" for common kayak widths.
Users can tailor paddle length to swim, surf or race conditions for more efficient paddling. Fits most paddlers, including people over 5'5" when used as a kayak paddle.
