The Methane is a popular paddle for surf, but is also great for touring and racing. Inspired by surfboard shaper Blane "Methane" Chambers, the 8" wide blade is perfect for quick starts and turns necessary for maneuvering an SUP board in the surf. The comfortable oval shaft and and light full carbon construction make the Methane perform as an excellent race paddle as well. If paddling calm waters for fitness or fun is your thing you'll find the Methane a paddle you can use all day! Made in the USA.
As a general guide for sizing your surf paddle add 8 inches to your overall height to determine the paddle length. Our chart is based on 8 inches. However, depending on the type of paddling you intend to do, it may vary. The reason we give a range is because of the differences in technique, boards and water conditions. While our data is anecdotal, it is based on the trends we see with our customers and team riders.

Discover the new DIABLO V5, the kite which copes with any conditions so you can focus on your racing. After 18 months of testing with our top team riders, we are proud to present our Olympic registered kite.
For the development of the DIABLO V5 we took a lot of time analyzing the current and possible future racing formats to determine what characteristics an Olympic race kite would require to get our rider to the top. As with all development we looked hard at our previous kites, their strengths and weaknesses and how we could use all of our previous learning to move forward. With the DIABLO V5, enter the next level of performance.
We have for this model worked on a greater internal pressure which means a super solid and stable kite dealing with high angles of attack and fast manoeuvring. The kite offers maximum performance with highest stability. Its new, simple and clean technical design has reduced the weight of the DIABLO V5 compared to the V4. The new high-performance construction also reduces material stretch. Our drainage system lets water and sand drain automatically.
