SurfCo Paddle Guard Kit

Protect Your Board from Every Paddle Strike
Every time your SUP paddle clips the rail or deck, it risks chipping the surface and degrading your board's resale value and structural integrity. The SurfCo Paddle Guard Kit puts a barrier between the paddle and the board so those incidental strikes stay cosmetic non-events.
SurfCo Hawaii has been protecting boards since 1986, when the company was established to distribute the original Nose Guard, developed and tested by professional surfers on the North Shore of Hawaii. The Paddle Guard Kit carries that same field-proven philosophy: a well-designed guard that looks like part of the equipment rather than an afterthought.
What the Kit Protects
The guard covers two high-contact zones on your paddle. The Paddle Guard edging wraps the edge and blade perimeter, where rail strikes are most common. A separate tough urethane tape strip covers the neck of the paddle, which takes the most abuse during carry and re-entry moves. Both pieces conform closely to the paddle so they look integrated, not tacked on, and neither piece adds meaningful drag or alters swing weight.
Compatibility
Designed to fit most carbon and wooden SUP paddles. The flexible urethane conforms to a wide range of blade profiles without trimming. If your paddle edge is already chipped or rough, clean and sand the area before applying for a clean bond.
What Is Included
- Paddle Guard edging (blade perimeter protection)
- Tough urethane tape (neck protection)
- Quick-curing adhesive glue
- Step-by-step instructions
Installation
No professional installation required. Clean the area, apply the included adhesive, press the guard into position, and follow the cure time in the included instructions. The urethane bonds firmly and stays put through salt water, UV exposure, and repeated use. The entire process takes a few minutes at home before your next session.
Why Urethane
Urethane is the material of choice for paddle and board protection because it absorbs impact energy rather than transferring it. It is flexible enough to stay bonded on curved paddle profiles, tough enough to resist repeated glancing strikes, and UV-stable enough to last through a full season of use without cracking or yellowing. SurfCo has used urethane as the core material in its protection products since its earliest Nose Guards, and the Paddle Guard Kit continues that approach.
