Black Project Lava 2-Piece Adjustable SUP Paddle

The most versatile paddle in the Black Project range. The Lava 2-Piece Adjustable delivers lightweight carbon performance with the freedom to fine-tune your paddle length or share it with others. Designed for touring, fitness, surfing, and recreational paddling, it’s the go-anywhere option that balances smooth power delivery with all-day comfort.

Overview

The Lava’s refined Scooped Dihedral Blade and moderate 10° blade angle create a smooth, forgiving stroke that suits every paddling style — from casual cruising to long-distance touring. Built with the QUEST 24T carbon shaft and FUSION ergonomic adjustment system, it offers the feel of a fixed paddle with the flexibility of an adjustable setup.

Key Features

• Lightweight pre-preg carbon construction — premium 24T carbon with natural twill finish for reduced weight and reliable strength.
• FUSION Ergonomic Adjustment System — Slick Rail Technology ensures smooth, twist-free length changes (30 cm / 12″ range).
• Red PowerGrip Handle — wide, contoured grip increases power transfer and reduces fatigue on long sessions.
• Scooped Dihedral Blade Technology — stabilises the paddle through the power phase and eliminates lateral movement.
• Moderate 10° Blade Angle — easier catch, smooth entry, and more forgiving feel over long distances.
• Rounded, carbon-reinforced edges — protects boards from scuffs and adds strength for surf use.
• Slim-line blade-shaft joint — reduces drag and weight while improving flex response.
• Extended tapered scoop — keeps strokes smooth even if the blade isn’t fully submerged.

Shaft Options

• Quest 29 mm Regular — stiffer feel and solid grip for paddlers 70–95 kg.
• Quest 26 mm Slim — lighter flex and smaller diameter for paddlers 50–85 kg or smaller hands.
• Flex ratings: Quest 75 / Quest 85 for a natural balance of stiffness and comfort.

Blade Sizes

Performance & Feel

The balanced blade shape gives a smooth catch and clean release, with enough flex to protect joints during long sessions. It’s an ideal choice for fitness training, touring, surfing, and family use.
