New Products @ Paddle Expo 2013 – NEW Paddle Brand: SupR

After nearly two years of development the new company SupR paddles in cooperation with former World Champion in White water racing, Olaf Schwarz developed a Stand Up Paddle with the distinctive Ergologic shaft. The reason to develop this shaft was that we were convinced that the ergonomics of the existing straight shafts was not right and a lot of energy put in strokes was spilled.

The continues curved shape of the shaft is to ensure the optimal power transmission of the towing arm with all fingers and a straight wrist. Because of the continues curve of the shaft it is possible to enter the water 30 centimetres further in front than with normal straight shafts. This increases momentum and gives a higher speed with using less power. Another big advantage of the ergonomic shaft design is that it makes paddling less physically demanding and reduces the risk of injuries of the wrists and shoulders. The ovalised hand grip ensures a very comfortable grip feeling while making side changes one side of the board to the other and back.

Ergologic paddles will be available with two different blade shapes (Race & Wave), produced with the Semi-Core concept, and are part of the SupR performance range. Weight of the full carbon race paddle 550 gram (depending on length and blade size). Together with the slightly bend, super thin and stiff paddle blade the Ergologic is a great paddle for those who want to race as well as for recreational paddlers who like to paddle long distances.
