As parents we want to be mindful of what we spend on beginner gear for our young paddlers. "What if they don't like it?" "They're going to grow out of it." We have addressed these concerns with the Flash 85 kids SUP paddle. Great craftsmanship and materials at an amazing price, and the adjustability to grow with your child from ages 6 to 13. We are doing all we can to help make their time on the water with you as enjoyable as possible with more efficient blade design and size, light swing weight and kid sized shaft.
