What a beautiful and great feeling SUP this is! I make the blade with a bit les shoulder; blade is l7" long X 9" wide, unless otherwise specified, so its a little shorter also. Slight lip on powerface of blade gives this paddle a nice grip -- not overpowering, and quite light. Flex and feel - this paddle is a nice, new addition to the SUP lineup! Blade is butternut with tulip.
