The lightest top quality SUP paddles available! With a strong heritage in carbon paddle design and construction ZRE (Zaveral Racing Equipment) are the leader in the field for lightweight, efficient paddles having supplied top international athletes since the 90’s and designed by professional canoe paddlers and Olympians, which translates into a phenomenal SUP paddle. "I've used most of the top paddle designs over the past 25 years, first in outrigger canoeing and over the last 5 years in SUP and although I had used Zaveral OC1 paddles during the 90s in Australia and Hawaii, until recently I had not used their SUP models. What I remembered was that in the context of full carbon paddles, they were the best and by far the lightest. Now that I've got my Zaveral Powersurge, it's absolutely my preferred paddle, pure genius. Super light, super efficient and super tough!” Construction

What Size Blade? If you consider yourself on the heavy side, then your overall mass will generally dictate you will prefer a larger blade area and vice-versa. If you prefer to paddle with a high stroke rate, then you may prefer a smaller blade area. For surfing, go smaller, for racing, go as big as you think you can comfortable manage for long periods of repetitive stroking. Choosing the right length paddle is very important. Some sites simply recommend a simple height + x inches. The truth is you need a little more thought than that! You must factor in the board you are using and ideally the type of paddling you will do. The target is to have the blade fully engaged at the catch while your top arm is no higher than shoulder height - clearly a thicker board will lead to a longer paddle length.http://www.islanderpaddler. For SUP'racing, cruising and adventuring, ease of handling and pureness of blade efficiency is the key and the recommendation is to use a blade with some marginal amount of curvature in the form of a subtle concave shaped within the blade and the addition of a central spline to ensure solid anchoring of the blade and even exiting of water from the blade face, to create a balanced, powerful blade. ZRE's PowerSurge is a super powerful blade designed by Olympic canoeists and one of the USA's most respected carbon blade designs. For SUP`surfing, ease of handling is the key issue in more challenging surfing conditions and the recommendation is to use a flat-faced blade and to down-size overall paddle length and blade area by a few inches to improve ease of handling, stroke rates, switch rates between either side of the board and reduce issues of 'tripping' and being over-powered, which can result in being pulled from the board during turns.
