X-Paddle Cruise Paddle

These paddles are aimed at all levels/styles of riders looking for a great paddle with a light and crisp overall feel, delivering excellent, but comfortable performance

The Cruise series features new blade shapes, shafts and handles with further refinements to comfort, performance and versatility. Featuring 2 different 3K Red Glass ABS edged blades, a 29mm diameter 70% Carbon shaft, 100% Carbon Handle(something you will find on very few other brands, regardless of price), with Blade, Carbon Shaft and Handle in Gloss finish. On the adjustable models, the Matt finish sliding shaft has contrasting White calibration from 70”to 94” (the Petite Cruise is 54”to 76”)

 

Our 70% Carbon/30% Glass 29mm is a fast return shaft, which also features on the Glide Series but gives a slightly softer more relaxed feel when matched to the Cruises Glass Blades than the Glide - this performance profile is designed to suit all riders from beginner to experienced and pretty much all weights, but especially from 50 to 100kg, whom we believe will all love the way these shaft and blade combinations deliver great performance with considerable comfort, even over very long distances.

 

Providing a really comfortable light and balanced feel, the Cruise encourages good technique and rider engagement with a nice dynamic feel, while still having the right flex characteristics to reduce the risk of strain, fatigue or even injury for all paddlers.

 

The 7.28” wide blade excels in flat water/coastal performance, while the 7.8” is aimed at all round/wave, with more uniform steering feel due to flatter blade face, but both will work fine in either environment.

 

Of special note should be our desire to accommodate riders from 3͛8” to 5 ͛6" with the Petite models, and from 5͛ to 7͛ tall with the adjustable/fixed models in the full Life, Cruise, Glide and Race Range. Please take this into account when looking at weights, as many makes of paddles are a foot or so shorter, and for fixed models, many companies quote their weight͛s when cut to just 78”

 

The Cruise is available in 6 different models, plus the Petite which has a 7” blade and 26mm Dia.Shaft

Our Mission in designing the new range was to further enhance the entire paddling experience for every rider.

 

The Cruise Series has been our most popular range since we introduced it 2010, so these new models had to really deliver in order to uphold our reputation for great value, nice handling, light, high quality paddles - Thanks to our design team, production team and all the work from our real world testers, who have spent many hours helping us to fine tune our prototypes - we are confident we have produced another SUPer X-Paddle which all riders will love.
