SUP paddle
This 3-Piece Adjustable Fiberglass Paddle by Tower is a great value if you're looking for a reliable and durable SUP paddle. Made up of a fiberglass shaft and ABS blade with rubber edging, it is very well-constructed with a high end finish. The adjusting clasp is the same seen on our carbon kevlar paddle, so you know you are not compromising on quality. The paddle extends from 65"-85", with a printed marker on the adjusting shaft piece to ensure you are always paddling within the recommended length range.
SUP paddle height guide
The general rule of thumb is that a sup paddle should be 5-7 inches above the riders height. Our 3-piece paddle has a height range from 5'4 to 7 feet, making it compatible for anyone, but optimized for those 4'10 - 6'7 tall.
Sup paddle construction
Fiberglass has the benefit of being both a lightweight and durable material. The fiberglass shaft ensures you won't have weak points throughout the paddle as this frequently occurs in comparably priced paddles on the market. The glossy Tower Paddle Boards logo that decorates the length of the shaft gives the paddle a high end look and feel.
Moving down, the 16" blade is constructed with ABS plastic for increased durability and minimal flex. ABS plastic is a superior plastic due to its toughness and finish. It combines the strength and rigidity of a number of plastics for a dependable and lightweight paddle blade construction. In addition, the blade is reinforced by rubber edging to make it even more durable and protect against any paddle hacks to your board while in use.
This paddle does NOT float. However, we do have a great trick to ensure floatation. Cut a pool noodle and insert the pieces inside the paddle OR wrap pieces around the outside of the paddle.
Overall, the 3-Piece Adjustable Fiberglass Paddle by Tower is complete quality and durability at an unbeatable price.
NOTE: Be sure to rinse paddle with freshwater after each use. Salt water will slowly corrode the metal parts of paddles over time if not cared for properly.
