Know Your Red SUP Paddles - Which One Is Right For You?

Paddling should never be hard work. If it is, your inflatable SUP paddle might be the cause of the problem. While it’s easy to get lost in the bells and whistles of your paddle board construction, having the right SUP paddle is just as important and plays a vital role in boosting your efficiency, aiding the right technique, and propelling your energy into every stroke. For these reasons, you need to choose a SUP paddle that is tailored to your paddling style, goals, and experience.

To coincide with the launch of our Future Series paddle boards earlier in the year, we’ve also released a full range of Future Series SUP paddles. This range of Red SUP paddles is designed to complement your board and improve your performance no matter your ability level. We’ve broken down every paddle in the range in this article, so you can find your ultimate match. 

Cruiser Tough Fibreglass SUP Paddle

Right for: Beginners and all-round paddlers

The first Red SUP paddle you could go for is the Cruiser Tough Fibreglass SUP Paddle: the go-to for anybody new to paddleboarding or those who want a reliable, fuss-free paddle that doesn’t cut corners on performance. This paddle is designed for extreme durability and dependable power, with a reinforced, pure plastic blade that can handle the demands of the water.

It also features a fibreglass shaft which is particularly forgiving and flexible, and able to absorb the strain of each stroke so that you can focus on performing the right technique and using your energy wisely. As standard, you’ll find an anti-twist clamp and a 3-piece breakdown, guaranteeing easy travel and no irritating misalignment mid paddle.

Hybrid Carbon-Fibre SUP Paddle

Right for: Intermediate, progressive paddlers

The Red SUP paddle range starts to step up with the Hybrid Carbon-Fibre SUP Paddle. Slightly more advanced than the Cruiser, this SUP paddle offers the perfect balance of strength and smooth performance. It’s made with a composite carbon-fibreglass shaft and a signature Armour Tech blade, delivering lightweight responsiveness while robustly standing up to impact. 

More power and less effort are at the core of what this Red SUP paddle does best. The deep-scoop blade face and critical blade angle maximise the power of each and every stroke, while the anti-twist clamp keeps your setup rock solid even as you progress. This option is undoubtedly a very versatile one, and perfect for paddlers rising up the ranks.
