A carbon paddle built to adjust to the paddler
The Island Water Sports Carbon Adjustable Paddle is built for stand up paddle boarding, where getting the length dialed in to your height and the conditions matters as much as the blade itself. Being a carbon build keeps the paddle on the lighter end of the category, which counts on a long session where you are taking hundreds of strokes.
What it is
- Carbon construction
- Adjustable design, so length can be set rather than fixed at a single size
- Unisex paddle, suited to any paddler
An adjustable shaft is the practical advantage here: one paddle can be shared between paddlers of different heights, or the length can be tuned by conditions, a touch longer for flatwater cruising, a touch shorter for more aggressive, high cadence paddling.
Who this paddle is for
This paddle suits anyone paddling a stand up board along the South Florida coast or intracoastal, from a relaxed flatwater cruise to a more active paddle session. Because it is adjustable and unisex, it works well for a household or rental fleet where more than one person will use the same paddle, or for a paddler who wants to fine tune their length as they get more comfortable on the board.
How to set it up and care for it
Set the adjustable length so your top hand sits comfortably above head height when the blade is planted, then lock the adjustment mechanism securely before heading out, an unsecured adjustment is the most common issue with any adjustable paddle. Rinse the paddle with fresh water after use in saltwater to keep the adjustment collar and shaft moving freely, and store it out of direct sun when not in use, which helps any carbon composite hold up longer term.
