Our newest paddles, the UV series.
The NEW UV-77 is available!
The SUP paddle’s blade is made entirely of carbon fiber with an edge in ABS that increases impact resistance. The shaft is Quickblade’s conical Diamond Elite shaft. A shaft that tapers up towards the handle and has an oval cross section for increased precision when inserting and steering. The shaft is made entirely of carbon fiber as well as the handle, which is designed to minimize incorrect loading on the wrist when you put pressure on the paddle.
The conical shape of the shaft reduces the weight of the SUP paddle while the conical shape controls the bending of the shaft and you get a firmer grip on the shaft if you choose to grip down to increase your paddle frequency.
The evenly narrow contour of the paddle blade provides an easy and smooth insertion. The back of the blade has a markedly concave UV shape that gives a very good grip in the water and maximum effect during the driving phase of the paddle cycle. At the front there is a bulge that helps to stabilize the paddle and you get a flexible recess in the paddle cycle.
Quickblade UV All Carbon has a stiffer paddle blade than Quickblade UV Hex Flex which has a slightly softer blade in a hybrid construction of carbon fiber and fiberglass.
