Dependable materials at a value price make these paddles a mainstay for recreational use and those on a tight budget. Durable aluminum shaft includes high-visibility float. Rugged polycarbonate blade offers mid-range flex for ease of use and low-stress on joints. The 2013 BIC SUP Paddle range is a leap forward in performance and versatility. Two fully redesigned blade shapes (designed and tested by Patrice Remoiville and Jimmy Blakeney) allow the rider to choose a blade that compliments their size and riding style. The Small (S) blade is ideal for smaller riders, kids, surf performance and paddlers who prefer a high-cadence paddling style. The Medium-Large (ML) blade is our standard bearer, perfect for all-around paddling, racing, low-cadence paddling styles and those looking for more power.
