Shaft and blade are both 100% carbon, so the whole paddle lands at 21 oz. That is lighter than most three-piece paddles selling for twice the price, and you feel it after the first mile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% carbon fiber shaft and blade, not a carbon shaft with a composite blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21 oz (595 gm) at the 88 blade, one of the lightest 3-piece paddles at any price\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjusts 175 to 215 cm with a locking anti-twist clamp that holds your setting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo blade sizes: 88 sq in for most paddlers, 94 sq in for bigger paddlers and touring power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDihedral blade face with ABS edge reinforcement to shed water evenly and take a hit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreaks down to fit an iSUP backpack, a car trunk, or a checked bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips with a 37.5 in padded paddle bag and a one-year accessory warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for the water.

A 12K weave reads as a larger, bolder checker pattern. A 3K weave reads fine and tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole difference. Both paddles are 100% carbon, both weigh the same at the same blade size, and both use the same dihedral blade and ABS edge. Stiffness comes from the fiber and the layup, not the weave count. Choose the 12K because you like how it looks, and know you are giving up nothing to get it. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nixysports.com\/blogs\/blog\/3k-vs-12k-carbon-fiber-sup-paddle\" title=\"3K vs 12K carbon fiber SUP paddle explained\"\u003eRead the full breakdown\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing Your Blade Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade area sets your cadence. A smaller blade moves less water per stroke, so you paddle at a quicker rhythm with less load on your shoulders.
