100% Carbon Speedster

NSP’s new Carbon Speedster racing paddle integrates a parallel edge outline that gives racers a quick and precise catch. Its edge outline also helps release, allowing for a faster motion through the water. The outline of the Speedster blade is perfect for sprint racing, downwind runs, and long-distance paddling.

RDM or regular shaft?

NSP paddle shafts come with a standard diameter of 29mm, which we have found to be the perfect fit for most paddlers, by a very large margin. These standard-diameter paddles will work in all paddling conditions that you can participate in.

At the same time, we recognize that there are enough paddlers who prefer a reduced diameter though, which is why we created the Reduced-Diameter (RDM) shaft.

Designed with the same strength- and flexing characteristics as the 29mm version, the 26mm shaft is perfect for kids, women, or athletes with smaller hands.

When handling carbon high-performance products, NSP recommends the use of appropriately padded bags.

How to cut a carbon paddle

Finding out the perfect length and cutting your high-performance carbon fiber paddle shaft to length can be slightly daunting the first time, which is why there is a detailed blog for paddlers looking to learn more about cutting and glueing their paddle themselves. We also edited a basic video you can view on your phone while you cut your shaft to length.
