WHY CHOOSE THIS PADDLE? The first paddle made specifically for sprinting and short-distance races. The Hydro SprintX was designed to help paddlers push their limits with maximum acceleration and top speed. Every feature of this paddle is optimized for speed and winning races. With a 7.5° blade angle, a shallower power pocket, and a wider and more compact blade outline––your first stroke will generate an instant burst of acceleration. We also reduced the blade volume to speed up entry and exit, helping you maintain an extremely fast cadence for sprinting. The blade angle is key in helping with the Power phase in getting up on foils - yes a bigger blade suits beginners or bigger foilers - However if you are a good paddler this BP Hydro X blade is more than capable if you have a high cadence for Foil Paddle Ups whether in flat water or bumps . The Hydro SprintX features a single shallow scoop design with dihedral shaped edges. This design is optimized for high cadence and high-power output, and it delivers forward thrust in a smooth and controlled manner. PST is designed to work in harmony with Advanced Flow Technology (AFT). We designed the PowerTaper shaft with a high kick point flex pattern to keep stiffness in the lower portion of the shaft for instant power under extreme load, while the more flexible top section creates increased spring and reduces shoulder fatigue. The new Power Grip ergonomic racing handle ensures that your hand remains secure during rapid paddling and comfortable during long training sessions. These two changes represent a significant upgrade on their own. The Hydro SprintX has a shallow 7.5° blade angle which promotes a high cadence and delivers instant power. It is ideally suited to short distance, technical and sprint racing. Utilizing our Advanced Flow with Power Scoop technology and built with 30T carbon and Kevlar, this is the fastest and most responsive paddle on the market. If you are serious about winning, the Hydro SprintX belongs in your paddle quiver.
