Which SUP Paddle Should I Buy?<\/h2>\n

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

When it comes to the paddles it doesn’t matter if you have a solid (SUP) or an inflatable (ISUP) stand up paddle board the paddle will be the same for either.<\/p>\n

The only two activities that require a different paddle off-set degree, SUP surfing, and racing. But even those are pretty close to the same.<\/p>\n

For novice stand-up paddlers such as myself, there are a few all-around paddle variations you can choose from for a more custom feel. 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

SUP Paddle Reviews & Info<\/h2>\n

1. Abahub 3-Piece Aluminum SUP Paddle<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Abahub<\/a><\/p>\n

First up is the Abahub 3-piece Aluminum Alloy stand-up paddle board paddle. I want to review this paddle first because it is the most budget-friendly and a good choice for people who want an extra paddle.<\/p>\n

A lot of ISUP’s come with paddles like this one, and chances are it’s not going to be an upgrade from the one you already have. But it’s a great choice for a back-up.<\/p>\n

Even though this SUP paddle is budget-friendly is still a solidly built product. The shaft is made with an aluminum alloy which is a common material for SUP paddles because it’s light, doesn’t rust, and durable.<\/p>\n

It breaks down into 3 pieces the longest being 34.5 inches, it’s super portable. The entire paddle weighs only 36 oz (2.25 lbs).<\/p>\n

Normally aluminum paddles will float for a few minutes then fill up with water and sink. Abahub solved this problem by adding stoppers in each piece so no water can get into the shaft.<\/p>\n

So it will float, which is a nice surprise for this range of SUP paddle.<\/p>\n

The stand-up paddle is adjustable using an anti-twist clamp and can go from 68-84 inches.<\/p>\n

As a quick guide for choosing the length of SUP paddle, a good size is 8-12 inches more than your height. For more information on choosing the right length of paddle, check out the FAQ below.<\/p>\n

The blade is 40% fiberglass and 60% PP (polypropylene), 18.5 inches long, 8.2 inches wide, has a 10-degree blade angle (perfect for all-around paddling), and has a reinforced grove.<\/p>\n

It’s a solid build and has a flat tear-drop shape, basically a hybrid.<\/p>\n

\"Abahub<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you will be touring or paddling for a long time a lighter paddle will be a better option but the Abahub 3-Piece Aluminum SUP Paddle<\/a> is a solid choice for beginners or a backup.<\/p>\n

My first ISUP came with a paddle just like this one and it performed fantastically for a leisurely paddle around the reservoir.<\/p>\n
