When it comes to the basics of stand-up paddle boarding (SUP-ing), one might think that the board is the most important piece of equipment for a successful SUP session. While the board is obviously the foundation for SUP-ing, you won’t get very far without a good paddle. After all, if you can’t properly propel yourself through the water, then you’re not going to have a very fun, enjoyable, or comfortable paddle. So, how does one avoid this? Well, simply put, if you want to have the best possible SUP-ing sessions, then you need to have the best possible paddle. Of course, this raises the question, what is the best type of paddle for SUP-ing? As always, our team at Atoll Boards has everything you need to know, so keep on reading below!

SUP Experts Often Opt for Carbon Fiber Paddles
While there are several types of materials from which paddles can be made—including plastic, aluminum, fiberglass, and wood—many SUP experts often opt for carbon fiber paddles. Although these are typically the most expensive paddles on the market, they are also the best overall picks for a variety of reasons.
The Lightest and Stiffest Material on the Market
Firstly, carbon fiber is both the lightest and stiffest material on the market; and, for many avid SUP-ers, these are two major advantages. As far as the weight is concerned, many professionals prefer a light paddle, especially if they’re planning on longer SUP-ing sessions; also, some people simply prefer them in general, even for a smaller outing as well.
More Bold, Potent, and Impactful
Secondly, the stiffness of carbon fiber allows for exceptional power transfer from your muscles to the blade of the paddle. In other words, each movement of a carbon fiber paddle is a bit more bold, potent, and impactful than any other material. In short, for the best possible paddling experiences, we recommend a top-of-the-line carbon fiber paddle.
