See the new 2025 range of Black Project SUP paddles, alongside their new Fusion adjustment system on their adjustable paddles.
Introducing the 2025 range of paddles from Black Project. A new innovation hits the market with the Fusion adjustment system on adjustable paddles.
The FUSION ergonomic adjustment system is the first-ever ergonomic adjustment system designed specifically for SUP paddles. In fact, across the entire market of adjustable systems, there is nothing quite like it. This innovative system features six key design elements that redefine adjustable paddles:
1) Ergonomic Design – The pod-shaped design is smooth and rounded, with no sharp edges to catch your hand, allowing for a comfortable grip. It’s easy to slide over without risk of damaging your board or body.
2) Integrated Brass Pin & Screw – The marine-grade pivoting pin is integrated into the lever and adjusted by a 4mm 316 stainless steel screw, utilizing a custom Black Project Allen Key, also made from 316 stainless steel.
3) Smooth Adjustment – Featuring Slick Rail Technology, two L-shaped rails provide a secure and smooth adjustment that resists sand and salt buildup, unlike grooved systems.
4) Increased Precision – By reducing the tolerance between parts, we created a more compact design with a smaller cam distance, making the system less prone to water ingress.
5) Reduced Weight – Strategically placed cutouts reduce the material volume without compromising the overall shape, minimizing weight for a lighter paddle.
6) Tougher Materials – Made from hardened fiberglass-infused plastic, the FUSION components are stronger and more durable than those in other systems, supporting a sleek, precise design built to last.
With these features, the FUSION adjustment system transforms the adjustable SUP paddle experience, offering durability, comfort, and performance like never before.
