You’re a serious paddler with places to go and miles to go before you sleep. THE BLUE ONE offers the same features as THE GREEN ONE but taken further with even stronger and lighter dihedral carbon / polypropylene blades and a fiberglass/carbon fiber shaft. This light performance paddle adjusts to fit paddlers from 5'1" to 6’4".

The OBLIO paddle is transforming the sport of stand-up paddle-boarding. The double-paddle design with a rotating grip enables you to move across the surface of the water more efficiently, with greater stability and less chance of injury. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll never go back. At least that’s our experience. Here’s why:

Performance:
OBLIO’s intuitive design optimizes your efficiency, control, and balance on the water. You’ll get the most out of every stroke, from both a speed and fitness standpoint. Why? Because the double blades actually increase the number of touches between your paddle and the water. And the more time your paddle spends in the water, the more opportunities it has to work for you. The rhythmic motion of the double paddle and the comfortable feel of the rotating grip, which reduces stress on your joints, will enable you to stay out longer and go further. Even when the weather’s not so great. We’ve found that the unique design of the OBLIO paddle enables us to power through wind and waves without losing our momentum.

Ease:
Paddling euphoria happens when you’re in a groove —not thinking about what comes next. That’s the beauty of the OBLIO. It’s intuitive. You don’t need to learn any new skills. Just go with it. In fact, the less you think about it the easier it’ll be.

Ergonomics:
Up until now, stand-up paddle-boarding has been more like “bent-over paddle-boarding.” The single-bladed paddle forced you to lean forward as you worked to haphazardly control the direction of the board. The double paddle provides greater freedom of movement, and the rotating grips enable your hand to remain in a neutral position, reducing stress on your wrists, elbows, and shoulders. You’ll be able to stand up tall and gently maneuver the paddle in a rhythmic motion, controlling the board without contorting your body.
