Minimal resistance, maximum distance
The Velocity is designed to be extremely efficient in every type of stroke. The thin blade profile minimizes entry turbulence, while the innovative winglets reduce vibrations at the sides of the blade: the result is a vibration-free stroke that is more efficient and less tiring for the body. The blade's high aspect ratio makes the Velocity ideal for long distances and high cruising speeds: excellent for distance racing, for the ocean where it reduces drag in choppy water, and for recreational paddlers looking for a smooth, effortless feel.
Key features
- Double concavity - Ensures stability, tracking, and even power throughout the blade, reducing splash on entry and exit.
- Winglets - Inspired by our foil studies, they reduce turbulence at the sides of the blade for a smoother pull through the water.
- Thin blade tip - For the cleanest possible entry, with less impact on the body.
- 14.33° angle of attack - Ensures a longer and more efficient stroke.
- Seamless connection - Integrated and continuous blade-shaft connection.
- Carbon Pro shaft - Prepreg, ultra-light, strong and responsive, with a new unidirectional non-slip texture.
- Ergonomic grip - Powerful grip for every type of race, long distance or sprint; adjustable at slight angles while maintaining full power.
- Anti-torsion lock and clamp - Easy and reliable alignment, quick release and reduced water ingress (2-piece shafts).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need racing experience to use this paddle?
No, it is a high-performance paddle that is also perfectly suitable for recreational paddlers looking for an efficient and responsive stroke.
How do I choose the right paddle size?
As a general guide, the paddle should reach between your chin and forehead when rested on the ground in front of you, but the ideal size also depends on your paddling style (standing/kneeling, flat water/surf) and board height: if in doubt, contact us with your height and we will help you choose the right size.
What is the difference between Prepreg, Carbon and Tufskin?
Prepreg Carbon is our lightest and most responsive construction, designed for racing and high performance; Carbon offers an excellent balance between weight and strength at a more affordable price; Tufskin is an extremely impact-resistant ABS paddle, designed for families, schools and rentals.
Is the shaft adjustable?
It depends on the version: 1-piece paddles have a fixed length (chosen based on size), while the 2 and 3-piece versions are height-adjustable and disassemble for easier transport.
