Black Project SUP TourCarbon Paddle Shaft

BLACK PROJECT HYDRO SYNERGY-X THE BEST SUP PADDLE FOR MIDDLE & LONG-DISTANCE RACING Used and championed by world-class paddlers Arthur Arutkin and Seychelle Webster, the Hydro SynergyX is the ultimate SUP paddle for middle- and long-distance racing. Engineered by Black Project with cutting-edge materials and precision design, this high-performance paddle helps you maintain a faster cadence, preserve energy over extended distances, and achieve new levels of speed and endurance on the water. High-Performance 30T Carbon Construction Tour Carbon Shaft Crafted with a double-tapered, round-oval-round design and 30T pre-preg carbon laminates, the Tour Carbon shaft delivers maximum stiffness in the lower section for stability while paddling and for transferring maximum power to the blade, and a more flexible top section to minimise shoulder fatigue. Its natural, textured oval grip in the mid-shaft area provides a secure hold without excessive pressure on your hands. Customisable Shaft Flex & Paddle Length Tailored Shaft Stiffness Black Project offers Tour Carbon shafts in several stiffness ratings, from softer (higher number) to stiffer (lower number). Choose the right flex based on your weight, height, and paddling style. Opt for a softer shaft if you’re near the low end of the recommended weight range, or a stiffer option if you’re toward the high end - ensuring a truly personalised feel and optimal power transfer.
