#7 The paddle - as important as the board in SUP

The importance of a good paddle in SUP - and the importance of a good paddle's weight

What do I need to consider when it comes to the paddle in SUP ? How important is it to have a paddle that is adapted to me? These and many other questions will be answered in this episode where Niklas, Magnus and Joachim discuss one of the most essential equipment details in SUP .

We may not think about the fact that the paddle is at least as important as the board in SUP at first, but without a functional paddle we will not get the experience or training effect of SUP that we want. Here we cover everything from length, stiffness, blade size, material and the benefits of a well-balanced paddle.

Paddle here, Paddle there.
That's exactly what this episode is about and the importance of having a paddle that suits you.

The SUP paddle is like a third leg that you use to keep your balance and to propel and maneuver the board. With a well-adapted paddle to your body structure and physique, each paddle stroke will be more effective and you will get more out of your paddling.
