"The most important item in your SUP
equipment; The Paddle..! After all, this is a paddle sport and
the paddle is so often overlooked as an after thought. The paddle is what drives
you through the water, the engine, your direct connection to convert your effort
into performance.
It would not be irrational to advise you to choose and buy a very good paddle
fitted to you, and then see what you have left in the coffers to buy your board.
Like a lot of SUP suppliers, at Blue Chip
we offer a free standard paddle with most new boards just to
help you get into the sport, but we advise you to up grade your paddle to a good
carbon model fitted to your paddling style as soon as you can afford to do so. A
good paddle fitted to match your paddling style and action should not be
underestimated. The paddle and your paddle action is more important to your
performance than the board."
Brian Johncey
All of our SUP paddles will float at any finished length. The
paddles are suitable for stand up paddlers of any height with the paddle maximum
length of 220cm. All paddles can be supplied without the handle fitted: the
shaft can therefore be cut down to the right length before the handle is
inserted and glued to the shaft tip. The most important factors in choosing the
length for your paddle are your height and the type of paddling you'll be doing.
Use the selector below to help find your ideal paddle length for standup paddle
surfing. This is a guide only: personal preference is also an important factor.
We can also supply all paddles cut to the correct length with the handles
fitted.
