Paddle Showcase

Paddle Showcase
This showcase is fundamentally subjective, but we’ll give you some guidance about the paddles that might suit you best. As with the board showcase, each paddle has its own page. The page includes:

  • A picture of the paddle
  • A technical description of the materials and design
  • A description section which comes from the company’s web or brochure copy (edited to be concise)
  • Evaluator’s comments from paddle evaluators
  • Summary comments derived from how the paddle was scored on the evaluator’s checklist.

We tested more paddles than appear here, but we are waiting for photos and/or verified technical information on some paddles.

If you know of (or make) a paddle that is not listed here, please contact us (the contact form works fine for this) and let us know. We will add paddles to the showcase as they become available to us for evaluation.
