FAQs

How do I know what paddle length to order?

Use our Paddle Length Calculator to measure your body height and paddling style - or contact us and we’ll help you choose.

Is there a difference between the different paddle design materials?

No all of our paddles have the same weight and performance. The difference comes down to look and feel:

Timber – Offers a natural, traditional aesthetic.

Carbon/Elements/Durable – Made from high-quality carbon fibre, strong and dependable.

Poutama – A premium carbon with a distinctive woven pattern for a unique finish.

Can I design my own paddle or team set?

Yes! We offer full customisation - from logos to patterns. Design here.

Do you ship internationally?
