THE BEST PADDLE FOR SUP FOILING
The best SUP foiling paddle – The all new FoilX SUP foiling paddle is used for downwind, surf, and flat-water foiling by Hawaiian foiling pioneers, Andrew Gibbons, Gabriella Bella, Jack Ho, Finn Spencer, and Jeffrey Spencer. Featuring a low 9° blade angle and a low aspect ratio blade outline. The FoilX has a powerful catch, and the shorter blade promotes a higher paddling cadence. A shallow power scoop and reduced blade volume further encourages increased cadence and explosive paddling – helping you to get up onto foil with fewer paddle strokes. With increased area in the toe of the blade, a quick and shallow paddle stroke will give instant boost if necessary to keep you from dropping off foil between swells. The componentized system enables you to customize your FoilX to suit your paddling needs and replace parts as desired.

RECOMMENDED SIZES
The FoilX paddle sizing table below is a guide only. Actual choice will depend on several factors. On flat water go bigger, in windy conditions and small foils use a smaller blade for higher cadence, for surf a smaller blade is also good. Less experienced paddlers will benefit from a bigger blade whereas experienced paddlers will be able to use a smaller blade. Remember that we have already done the upsizing needed for foiling for you, select blade size based on weight.
RECOMMENDED PADDLE LENGTH
The FoilX length guide below is a guide only. With lower aspect blades, a shorter paddle is preferable. For riding on higher volume boards or if you like mid-foiling strokes, then consider 1-2 inches (2.5 – 5cm) longer than your height for more reach. Remember that your new paddle will be assembled with hot glue, which means you can always shorten if needed. If your paddle is too long you will struggle to paddle at a high cadence.
RECOMMENDED SHAFTS
Selecting the correct shaft is a function of your paddle length and weight. A lower flex number relates to less flex and produces a stiffer paddle (lower flex rating). Heavier and taller paddlers will need a stiffer shaft whereas smaller and lighter paddlers need more flex (higher flex rating). Length affects stiffness, select based on your paddle height and weight. Stiffer is not always better, the right shaft for your weight and height, is the best shaft.
