An Ultra-Durable and lightweight carbon shaft is paired with a full-fiberglass blade for excellent performance. Comes standard with blade guard pre-installed for maximum durability and custom zippered blade cover. 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.
