SUP Paddles

You may not know this yet, but your choice about which of the various SUP paddles to get is far more critically important that which SUP board you select. Even the most expensive carbon fiber stand up paddles can break. Some are more susceptible than others. Ironically, some of the cheapest aluminum paddles are also the most bulletproof – but, of course, they’re also the heaviest. It’s often a trade-off between weight, strength, and price. Selecting an SUP paddle that best balances these trade-offs is the key. We’ve researched most all of the SUP paddle brands, most of the underlying manufacturers, and numerous construction types and hand selected what we feel are some of the best carbon fiber stand up paddles, the best wooden SUP paddles, the best economy SUP paddles, and the best values in each of those ranges.
