I knew the FLOWFORCE 2-piece paddle was the one for me from the very first few strokes of trying out a demo paddle. It’s super light, smooth and effortless to paddle with and it genuinely feels like you’re at one with the paddle, with your energy flowing along with the water. Even more important for a 60-something novice racer, is that I feel less strain on my body paddling with it and can paddle for longer without tiring out- that’s a huge bonus for distance races and helps keep me on the water injury free. In fact, I was over the moon to have got a 3rd place in the women’s leisure category at my first race using the FLOWFORCE which was the last distance race of the season in 2025! I’m looking forward to doing more races with my trusty FLOWFORCE in 2026! If you get an opportunity to try out a demo paddle take it and see for yourself. It’s a joy to paddle with and has made such a difference to my paddling.
