BEST ALL CARBON PADDLE

BLACK PROJECT LAVA

ands down the best way to upgrade your paddling experience on the water is to invest in a good paddle. There is a common belief that only people who are racing or surfing "need" a high end paddle which is totally not true. Everyone can benefit from a lightweight performance paddle whether you are just paddling for fun/fitness or you are practicing for your next race/excursion.

What make the Lava so great?

A Light Paddle will Change your Experience: A heavy paddle takes more energy to lift and pull through the water and overall is a bummer to use. In addition if you have existing shoulder issues, it's very easy to strain your body while using a bulky paddle and overall not have a good time. A typical Aluminum paddle (that comes with an inflatable) ranges from 2.5lbs to 3lbs, while an adjustable Lava Paddle weighs only 1.1lbs! You can immediately feel the difference when you hold it in your hands and perform your regular paddle stokes.

Great Quality the Price: The Lava is the price leader for a high performance all carbon paddle. There are many full carbon paddles from other brands, but only Black Project has a performance shaped blade with the same DNA as their Professional Race paddles!

Versatility: The Lava is your best bet if you want one paddle to do it all plus they have various different options for personal preferences. They have three blade sizes for different height/weight paddlers, two shaft diameter & handle options (for different hand sizes) and they all come in either Fixed, Adjustable, or 3-Piece Adjustable Break down.

To quote Blackproject's YouTube: "This full carbon paddle shares much of the same DNA as our premier race and surf paddles, but features a more forgiving blade design that’s better suited for a less aggressive and lower cadence paddle stroke. The Lava caters to all paddlers in all water conditions from surfing to flat water cruising and travel."

Come try it out!

While internet reviews are great to learn about gear, the best thing to do is come down to the shop and try it out on the water! With all boards there is a level of personal preference and the best way to figure out if will work for you is to try it out!

Scooped Dihedral Blade Technology

The Lava blade is designed to correct poor alignment often associated with fatigue and injury. The Scooped Dihedral shaping holds the water securely through the power phase, eliminating lateral blade movement and delivering force in a smooth and efficient manner.

The extension of the tapered scoop towards the toe allows the paddle to remain stable and deliver power, even if you fail to get the full blade in the water. This toe shaping also ensures a clean catch and efficient blade release.

Overall, the Lava blade design delivers a predictable and efficient paddle stroke which encourages the use of smaller blades while protecting your body from injury and reducing fatigue.
