One of the best parts of SUP? Unpacking 📦 With this lil dudess - Zosia 🐾 Thank you Blackfish Paddles x Get on the Water UK for the Andaman 580 🗡️ one of the paddles that has been on my bucket list for a while 🖤

Why this paddle and blade size?

🗡️ Chose the 580 cm² blade to match my strength & add efficiency to long distance paddling

🗡️ It’s handcrafted (as all Blackfish paddles), quick and solid with square shoulders for added power during the catch phase

🗡️Provides a clean entry, stable and powerful during the stroke

🗡️Comes in a paddle sock (no plastic!) that can serve as a paddle bag

🗡️ This paddle has been put through the ultimate endurance test - 8 million paddle strokes 😮‍💨🔝💯! It was used by Brendon Prince-Long Paddle SUP for his World Record to paddle around the UK coastline and has now paddled 10,000km 😯 Legend!
