What paddle is right for me?Updated a year ago

Like any Red Paddle Co product, there is a paddle to suit everyone's riding experience. Our paddles are made using three different raw materials Hybrid (Carbon and Glass fibre) or high end Carbon, tailoring to all performers’ abilities and needs.   Hybrid Tough  Carbon shaft and Nylon blade. Perfect for those paddlers who are perhaps entering into the sport and have a focus in performing and moving effectively, maximising efficiency on the water and looking to paddle in many locations including rocky beaches and shorelines. The Nylon material is very robust and tough - can more handle small bumps and knocks. An awesome choice for family fun paddle boarding and sharing with friends!  Prime Carbon  Higher level of carbon content throughout the paddle shaft and a Carbon, tear drop shaped blade. This is a great option for paddlers that are focused on speed and efficiency on the water, those hoping to up their game or those entering the sport knowing they would like to paddle longer distances, making the most of every paddle stroke and maximising their efficiency when out on the water!   Ultimate Carbon  Ultimate performance paddle, made from a high modulus Japanese carbon! This has a much higher level of carbon which is more lightweight, meaning this is a super featherlight paddle option! Delivering minimal resistance and maximise power output throughout your paddle stroke. This is a great option for paddlers who are really looking to move that much further and faster! The narrower profile enables you to get the paddle closer to the board keeping the paddle more vertical, improving board tracking, giving you much more steam line paddling.    You can see more details on our full collection here!
