Its great to see exciting new innovation in the SUP industry so when we heard about the slitted blade concept from Oscar Propulsion claiming to help with injury prevention we were excited to have a go!
UPDATE: We have had a bit of an update on our findings in relation to the starboard blade that we tested at the end of this video following Oscar propulsions investigations – there good clarity on how the durability of these blade can be controlled going forward to avoid what was seen. Slit design is influenced by the manufacturing process and layup in blades which wasn’t fully understood for Jonnys Lima experiment. Ultimately, its exciting times for the slitted blade concept going forward as it looks like it has lots of potential, lets hope we see some of this in… Read more »

Are the slits cut at an angle from front to back, like oblique? Or just straight through and perpendicular to the face of the blade?

Hey Jason, sorry for the delay on getting back about this.
No, they are just cut straight through not at an angle.
