JP Glass PE SUP Paddle

FAQ

Who is the JP Glass PE SUP paddle suitable for?

The JP Glass PE SUP paddle is the ideal choice for beginners and advanced paddlers looking for a lightweight, robust, and affordable paddle. With its fiberglass-reinforced PE blade and fiberglass shaft, it offers very good performance as an alternative to heavier aluminum paddles and is perfect for relaxed tours, fitness sessions, and light wave conditions.

How long is the JP Glass PE SUP paddle and is it adjustable?

The JP Glass PE SUP paddle is available in an adjustable length version (162–217 cm) and can thus be optimally adapted to your body size and paddling technique. Thanks to the adjustable alloy extension with an anti-twist system, the set length remains reliably fixed without the shaft twisting while paddling.

How heavy is the JP Glass PE SUP paddle?

The 2-piece JP Glass PE SUP paddle weighs approx. 960 g, the 3-piece version approx. 1000 g (each with a 90 in² blade size, with a tolerance of +/- 5%). This makes it comfortably light in the hand and significantly reduces fatigue on longer tours.

What material are the blade and shaft made of?

The blade of the JP Glass PE is made of fiberglass-reinforced polyethylene (PE) and features a V-concave shape that ensures a clean, efficient pull in the water. The shaft is made of lightweight fiberglass and has a horizontally roughened surface that ensures a secure grip, even with wet hands.

What is the difference between the 2-piece and 3-piece version?

The 2-piece version is the classic, lighter version at approx. 960 g. The 3-piece version weighs approx. 1000 g, can be transported even more compactly, and is equipped with an additional safety pin. Both versions offer the same adjustment range of 162–217 cm, the alloy extension with an anti-twist system, and the robust ABS handle.

Does the JP Glass PE SUP paddle have a windsurf mast plug?

No, the JP Glass PE SUP paddle does not have a windsurf mast plug. It is a pure SUP paddle that is used in combination with an inflatable or hard SUP board on lakes, rivers, at the coast, and on the Baltic or North Sea.

How do I properly care for and transport the JP Glass PE SUP paddle?

After use, you should rinse the paddle with fresh water, especially after contact with salt water, and store it dry. Thanks to the 3-piece version, it can be transported particularly space-efficiently in a backpack or board bag. Protect the PE blade from direct sunlight and extreme heat to preserve the material properties in the long term.

For which SUP disciplines is the JP Glass PE suitable?

The JP Glass PE is a versatile all-round paddle and is excellent for touring, fitness paddling, relaxed cruising tours, and light SUP yoga sessions. The 90 in² blade size offers a good compromise between power transfer and stroke rate, so you can travel comfortably both on calm water and in light chop.
