Is it a crossover for ski paddlers?

RACE Hawaii has developed a high tech double bladed standup paddle to be produced and promoted as an exercise tool.

"This system provides comfort and power to double bladed paddling. It's light and easy to use."

No doubt it would be a good workout but so is shovelling a tonne of horse sh1t.
It has nothing to do with Sup style of paddling.
But wait, there's more.

Do you get steak knives with this one Scotty

Scott from Race Hawaii look like he spends a lot of time paddling his products.

i've seen half assed atempts at this, but this looks far superior. the paddlers look balanced and they are rolling their bodies and arms in a far more natural rhythm then the single one sided motion that your body really doesn't like.

i could see this being picked up by long distance paddlers.

it's shame some sup pers can't show the tolerance they expect from others

You mentioned this is "far superior" then the "half assed attempts" you have seen in the past. Raising the bar a touch high are we ?
I don't expect any tolerance.

That'd be twice the fun in the surf zone!

haha, do your home work, look at some of the attempts by guys trying to use kayak paddles etc, then look at that vid again

ok, you mightn't expect tolerance


gee, some of you guys are aping the rabid crew in the sb room when they 'talk' about sups

bit precious boys, stop dumping down like your the owners of sup or something

You're right Lacey the Power Glide is a huge improvement on that bloke sitting on the rubber block with a ski paddle last year. Sounds like you got shares in it lacey.

Lacey has ordered one. Love to see him out at currumbin using a power glide with his power balance bracelets on

haha, no, probably not for me, i'm just not narrow minded.


however i reckon that someone who got good at it would go incredibly fast

Could see a possible application for flat water and touring.......but how would you like to be wearing that sucker as you go over the falls on an eight foot grinder!!!

^^^^^^^^^^ Funny you should mention that doggie, because YES you do get steak knives with the Power Glider. And not just any steak knives doggie but a Kings collection of - wait for it - stainless steel, super sharp steak knives with a lifetime warranty. So if you feel like commiting hurri curri after the hummiliation of using the Power Glider you've got it covered. But wait there's more...

Hahahahahahahaha

Go Timmy

Not only that DJ when I flat water paddle I still like to move the opposite foot a bit forward to the side I am paddling on I dont think it would work with the "windmill action of the power glide.

I am getting two of those bad boys.

Imagine on those long one sided paddles due to side winds.. You'd be flapping and waving that second blade constantly though the air above your head doing nothing except making it soooo much harder to paddle.. With the extra wind on the blade way up in the air.. and the extra weight of the roman rings.. it's gunna be a killer workout on your arms that's for sure.. .. Even without the side wind thing happening any time you want to do a turn that extra blade flapping around in the air above you is going to take any advantage away that you might get from stand up kayaking on your SUP board.. .. I'm still shaking my head in disbelief that this went into production.. I've seen the prototypes and the early stages of this thing years ago and I thought for sure they had caned the whole idea.
