Challenge 85 Carbon Black CR Blade SUP 2 PC

The Challenge 85 has a lightweight, all-carbon shaft with a 10° bend to provide low swing weight and a slight shaft flex for very comfortable performance.

 A spectacular value in SUP paddles, made of lightweight, durable, and top-grade carbon fiber components.

Its epX engineered polymer blade has enhanced stiffness and strength thanks to its carbon-fiber reinforcement.

The blade has an aggressive dihedral down its spine for a smooth, forgiving forward stroke. And the Challenge’s eye-popping Polynesian graphics speak to the origin of paddleboarding – an offshoot of the 1960’s surfing culture of Hawaii. 

At just 21 oz., the Challenge 85 stand-up paddle – with its all-carbon shaft, grip, and ferrule, and its carbon-reinforced epX engineered polymer blade – is ideal for SUP touring. It’s easy on your joints and muscles whatever your adventure.
