Badfish partnered with Accent Paddles on the Carbon Performance Paddle, and the result is versatile enough for surfing, racing, training, touring and river running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStiffness is what you are paying for. A flexible shaft absorbs part of every stroke, and over a few thousand strokes that is real energy going nowhere. Full carbon twill in the blade and shaft puts it into the board instead. At 25 ounces the paddle also stops being something you are lifting all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is compression molded with a foam core spine, 93 square inches at an 8 degree angle, a shape that works on a lake training lap and on a river wave. The 16\" adjustable, patented lever-lock ergonomic grip means one paddle fits different paddlers and different conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eVideos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-item\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cLkJYK55SKc\" title=\"Carbon Performance Paddle - New SUP Paddle from Badfish\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBadfish Carbon Performance Paddle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-piece adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePaddle Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Surface Area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93 sq in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Angle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\" range, patented lever-lock grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full carbon twill blade and shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Build:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compression molded, foam core spine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt With:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accent Paddles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cfo-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Carbon:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twill blade and shaft, stiff enough that strokes go into the board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e25 Ounces:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light enough to stop noticing on a long paddle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLever-Lock Grip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patented ergonomic grip with 16 inches of adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompression Molded Blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foam core spine keeps strength up and weight down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e93 Square Inches at 8 Degrees:\u003c\/strong\u003e A shape that suits training laps and river waves alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccent Partnership:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built with a paddle maker, not badged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBadfish Carbon Performance Paddle Questions, Answered\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003e2-piece or the 3-piece Travel version?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame blade, same grip, same carbon. The 2-piece is 25 ounces; the Travel is 27 ounces and breaks into three so it packs inside a board bag. Take this one if the paddle lives in your truck. Take the Travel if it goes on planes and into board bags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs carbon worth it over the Oval paddle?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you paddle often, yes, and the difference is not subtle. This is 25 ounces of stiff carbon against 3 pounds of aluminum and nylon. Less weight to lift and less flex per stroke. If you paddle a few times a summer, the Oval does the job for a fraction of the money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill it break if I hit a rock?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon is stiff, and stiff means it does not absorb an impact the way nylon does. It is built for hard use, but a full-force strike on rock is harder on carbon than on a nylon blade. If you spend your days pushing off gravel bars, keep a cheaper paddle for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow much length adjustment is there?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSixteen inches, on a patented lever-lock grip. That is enough range for different paddlers and for switching between flatwater length and a shorter surf setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat does the 8 degree blade angle do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sets the blade slightly forward of the shaft, so the blade sits vertical in the water through the powerful part of the stroke rather than scooping at the start and lifting at the end. Eight degrees is a middle-ground angle that suits both surf and flatwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWho is Accent Paddles?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paddle manufacturer Badfish partnered with to build it.
