✓ Fibreglass shaft – strong, slightly flexible and affordable

✓ Reinforced nylon blade – stiff and impact resistant

✓ 613 cm² symmetrical blade – a versatile size for leisure paddling

✓ 822 g – your arms tire less on a longer outing

Construction and controls

Blade: 10° angle and slight dihedral

The blade is 18 cm wide and 48 cm long, with an area of 613 cm². The 10° angle between blade and shaft helps it catch the water firmly and transfer power efficiently throughout the stroke. A slight dihedral on the power face stabilises the stroke, so the blade does not flutter. The rounded tip glances off rocks more easily.

Fibreglass shaft

A fibreglass shaft is a compromise between price and quality: it is not as light as carbon fibre, but keeps good strength and flex. The paddle is one-piece, so there are no joints and the shaft stays stiff.

LeverLock system

The length adjusts with a simple LeverLock lever. The range is 41 cm, from 173 to 213 cm. Handy when several people use the paddle or when you want to adjust the length to the conditions.

How to choose the SUP paddle length?

• for waves and faster water, a paddle about 20 cm longer than your height
• for touring, fitness, racing and yoga, a paddle about 25 cm longer than your height

If you travel often, the same blade and shaft come in a two-piece version NRS Bia 95 Travel Adjustable. Protect the paddle from loss with a NRS Coil Paddle Leash leash.
