Black Project Hydro Synergy-X Paddle

Offering a greatly enhanced paddling experience, the Hydro SynergyX empowers you to achieve increased board speed, maintain a higher paddling cadence, and paddle for extended durations. In partnership with world champions Seychelle Webster and Arthur Arutkin, and drawing inspiration from the success of the Hydro series, this new Black Project paddle has been meticulously tuned to dominate middle and long distance races. To achieve a combination of race winning speed and endurance, the blade has been optimized for efficiency. With a moderate blade angle of 10°, a narrower entry, and thinner blade profile, each paddle stroke is effortlessly smooth with an easy catch. The wider blade shoulders and medium depth Power Scoop give the option to increase power if needed during competitive racing or higher intensity paddle workouts. PADDLE INFO Moderate 10° Blade Angle: The Hydro SynergyX has a moderate 10° blade angle results an easier catch, with a smooth paddle entry, slightly more forgiving feel, and increased comfort for longer distances. Tour Carbon - Oval Taper Shaft: The all-new Tour Carbon shaft series is a key component of the Hydro SynergyX that brings reduced weight, added power, responsiveness, grip, and comfort. The tapered oval design increases stiffness in the lower shaft area for enhanced stability and power transfer to the blade. The more flexible and thinner round upper section helps to reduce fatigue. The oval-shaped middle-grip area provides a directional feel and a secure grip with a natural carbon-textured matte finish. Our lightest, most responsive shafts are built with 30T carbon. The Tour series offers four distinct profiles, each with various length and stiffness options. Advanced Technology (AFT & PST): Utilizing our Advanced Flow with Power Scoop technology and built with the best 30T pre-preg Toray carbon, this is the fastest and most responsive paddle on the market. If you are serious about winning, the Hydro SynergyX belongs in your paddle quiver for long-distance racing. A completely re-imagined design. Increases blade efficiency through the water. Locks blade in to eliminate lateral movements. Creates a smooth, consistent and efficient stroke. React+ Technology (RE+T): The latest SUP paddle innovation is our REACT+ Technology (RE+T). This incorporates two external 30T unidirectional carbon plates, amplifying blade power, responsiveness, and energy return. Moderate Power Scoop (MPS): The Hydro SynergyX features a moderate scoop design with dihedral shaped edges. This has been optimized for medium to high cadence paddling, delivering power in a smooth and controlled manner. Single moderate scoop design with dihedral edges. Delivers a powerful, efficient and smooth paddle stroke. Increased power enables the use of smaller blade sizes. Works in harmony with AFT. 30T Pre-Preg Carbon: The 30T carbon construction reduces weight and increases responsiveness of the paddle. This enables us to optimize the internal layers and build an even more durable paddle. Carbon Reinforced Rounded Edges: We smoothed out all edges and incorporated our slim-line joint to make a sleek and efficient paddle. This increases safety, increases blade strength, and reduces board damage. We added extra carbon reinforcement to the blades edges. All edges are rounded with smooth transitions. Reduces or eliminates board damage. Increased paddle strength. Rounded edges are safer. Precision CNC Blade Core: The paddle is molded from layers of pre-preg carbon with a lightweight high density CNC foam core. This internal precision improves laminate adhesion increasing the longevity of your investment in a quality paddle. PowerGrip Handle: The award-winning hollow carbon PowerGrip ensures that every ounce of effort is translated into forward motion; the ergonomic design maintains comfort throughout extended paddling sessions. Long lasting comfort for racing and touring. Improved connection between hand and paddle increases power. Hollow pre-prep carbon construction for reduced weight.  Best For - Medium/Long Distance: The Hydro SynergyX paddle is suitable for a wide range of paddlers and uses, including the examples below.  Professional Paddlers Advanced Paddlers Middle & Long-Distance Paddling Ultras & Endurance Events 10-15km Euro Tour  ISA Racing ICF Racing APP Racing
