The SUP Store say "This amazing carbon fibre 2 piece allround paddle suits anyone from wave rider champions to entry level flat water paddling, we prefer the tear drop shape when we surf rather than the lima shape"
The direct, powerful and extra precise paddle shape with deep side concaves gets you from zero to hero.
The wide lower part helps create a maximum efficiency area even if your stroke is not yet deep enough into the water. That wide lower part is also great to lean on for stability in the waves and has won 3 world titles in the last 2 years
