Stand up paddle boarding is a fantastic sport with lots of different kinds of paddle boards and accessories. It’s easy to feel lost in the endless stand-up paddle board products and their variations.<\/p>\n
If you’ve made it to the point where you want a better SUP paddle or you need another one you probably already own a paddle board or are about to buy one so you know how much is out there.<\/p>\n

The first being the shape of the paddle.<\/p>\n There are two main kinds, rectangle (flat) or tear-drop (rounded). The rectangular shape has less surface area and doesn’t move as much water. It’s better for easier paddling but you have to paddle more to get from point A to point B than those with a rounded paddle.<\/p>\n The tear-drop or rounded paddle has more surface area and moves more water with every stroke. You have more power and can get further with fewer stronger paddles.<\/p>\n This list has paddles for the average all-around stand-up paddle boarder who is looking for either a better paddle than the one their paddle board came with or an extra.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
