125 litre Pendleboard

This inflatable SUP has a rigid tail. The sailboard rig connection is an option - that I am interested in.

Paddle recommendation

Starboard Enduro adjustable sup.star-board.com/products/paddle-overview Specifications: : Tiki Tech Blade Hybrid Carbon shaft adjustable 154cm to 213cm 3.5 stiffness. Uni-directional pre-impregnated hybrid carbon. Recommendation to paddle manufacturers: All adjustable paddles should allow an adult to comfortably paddle in a kneeling position. An adjustable paddle is great for paddlers looking for different paddle length or sharing the paddle with friends and family. This one has a wide Tiki clamp for a quick and effortless release. The clamp also helps control the alignment without twisting. It has extended reinforcement on the blade neck for greater overall strength. Despite which I have broken one and am onto my second. I started with a small - 237g 20.5cm wide Area: 475cm2 and now use a medium, cannot find the specs for this size. Here is everything you need to know about choosing a paddle.

Cheap Kneel-up paddles

- so that you can try it Your SUP paddle will not do for kneeling up unless it is a retractable one and fully retracted. The problem is your upper hand is not doing its job. Holding a tube is very different to holding a handle that tells you which way the blade is facing. The handle also allows you more force in thrusting the paddle into the water. The correct length for the paddle is approximately 1 to 1.5 meters (3 to 5 ft). Shop around in your marine shop for items like these two for under AUS$30: Alloy 4' Curved Blade T Paddle .. aluminium shaft, polypropylene handle and blade. Overall length 1.20m (4') whitworths.com.au/main_itemdetail.asp...&search123=55338 You can fine tune the length by cutting bits of the plastic off the end of the blade. The length you need will allow the blade to be clear of the water (with your hand holding the handle) when you reach out to put the blade in the water at the start of the stroke. OR if you want something more hipster...
