SUP Paddles - What you need to know to choose and adjust a paddle

This video is all about paddles. I start with what materials paddles are often made of and pros and cons when selecting a paddle. In the video I didn't talk about fiberglass construction at all. I'm not an expert on them but think of them as a great happy medium between carbon fiber and aluminum. They are generally lighter and have great durability.

I cover the main differences between a fixed and adjustable paddle (2 and 3 piece adjustable) and considerations when choosing a new paddle.

How to adjust your adjustable SUP Paddle to fit you best. Different folks have different techniques for adjusting the length of a paddle, at the end of the day it's a personal thing. Use my recommendations or others you've learned as a starting point, then tweak for your body and paddling preferences. If you have questions, take a photo of you holding your paddle and send it to me, I'll fire back feedback.

Lastly, I hit how to hold your paddle and why.
