The design and performance of BIC SUP paddle blades is based around three phases of an efficient paddle stroke:

The Catch
Both the S and ML blade are designed for a smooth entry into the water with minimal splash or blade rotation during entry. This allows the blade to become firmly planted in the water for the second phase of the stroke…

The Pull
This is where power is applied from the paddler, to the blade, into the water and is what propels you forward. Keeping the blade slightly narrower and longer than traditional SUP paddle blades gives you several “gears” depending on how deeply you insert the paddle into the water. Together with a slight dihedral in the blade it also reduces cavitation (flutter) for maximum transfer of power from body to blade to water.

The Recovery
Just as important as the Catch, a clean recovery minimizes power loss and maintains rhythm. BIC SUP paddle blades have minimal ‘curve’ in the blade and a thin profile. This allows the blade to “pop” out of the water at the end of the stroke quickly and cleanly. The thin profile also increases blade performance when feathering the paddle through the water, which is an advanced recovery technique used in many situations, from helping maintain balance to course corrections.

	Sizes
	Small "S"	Medium Large "ML"
	The Small (S) blade is ideal for smaller riders, kids, surf performance and paddlers who prefer a high-cadence paddling style.	The Medium-Large (ML) blade is our standard bearer, perfect for all-around paddling, racing, low-cadence paddling styles and those looking for more power.
