Thanks.. But I think I will pass..

Here.. http://www.halagear.com/products/hala-butterknife-double-bladed-paddle-for-stand-up-paddle-boarding/

Why can't they just leave our sup paddles alone without making doule bends or super long double blades and then there was that stupid add on handle so you can paddle on your knees.. and now this short double paddle with a stupid handle stuck in the middle of one of the blades so you can paddle sitting on your arse.. Too funny.. Some people are determined to turn sup into sit down, kneel down or stand up kayaking..

Maybe one of the many KUP (kneel up paddle) paddlers from last weekend's RPS race came up with the idea??

Isn't that sorta like a surfer saying to someone on a SUP "why can't you just leave the sport of surfing alone?" I'm all for using a paddle like this (but I like innovative things, and wouldn't mind buzzing past the breakers!)

ok that sucks.

I reckon the next change to paddles is the adjustable concept will be refined and used in elite racing, like a twist and go arrangement that allows a connor like short stroke when needed and then allows you to settle into the normal paddling when required.

Thats my two cents worth

It is funny, but if "they just leave our sup paddles alone" we might still be paddling with a giant long double blader made out of wood on a full wood board - early stuff! I say go innovation! It might not be your cuppa, but I reckon I'd use that paddle a lot! (IMHO)

Spouse that's why SUK (Stang Up Kiting) has not taken off.
Great acronym

Yeah, but it would allow you to hit two shortboarders in the head at the same time

Not all of us put in the training that you do dean so for some of us to battle a 20 plus onshore breeze with waves is quiet difficult so if you like having people to beat and greater numbers in the sport this will be the norm on wild days
Also it was a social race and counted for nothing
