Stand Up Paddleboard Paddles
Our SUP paddles are made with three head sizes and are either cranked or classic. The larger Odin head gives massive bite for big power paddling, Loki is for the average paddler whilst the smaller Freja relies more on finesse.
Named after the Lord and Lady of the Norse pantheon and the god of mischief, these stand-up paddles are developed for both long distance flat-water paddling and for use in the surf.
The Odin has a larger blade for maximum power and bite in the water.
- Blade Length: 47 cm/18.5 in
- Blade Width (widest): 25 cm/10 in
Freya’s smaller head requires less effort to get the board moving and is less tiring for the longer flat water trip.
- Blade Length: 45 cm/18 in
- Blade Width (widest): 22 cm/ 8.7 in
Loki’s standard head makes it a good all rounder.
- Blade Length: 50 cm/ 20 in
- Blade Width (widest): 23 cm/9 in
If you go for the cranked shaft, the crank angle is 12 degrees.
Paddle Sizing
There are various ways to determine the best length for a Stand-up Paddleboard paddle. It depends slightly on the type of paddling you will be doing and personal preference.
If the paddle is too long you will tend to make wider paddle strokes which turn the board, and if it is too short you will need to bend at the knees and/or waist to get good water contact. A paddle that is too short can also tend to make you lean forward, which can cause back strain.
- A good standard is between 6 and 10 inches longer than your overall height.
