Naish Paddle Alana Vario RDS 80

The Naish Alana Vario RDS 80 is a two-piece carbon paddle designed for stand-up paddleboarding. It’s built to deliver reliable performance on lakes, rivers or small surf, and its split-shaft design makes it simple to pack away or adjust to your preferred length.

The blade combines biaxial glass, unidirectional (UD) carbon and 3K carbon in a pre-preg lamination, giving you a blend of stiffness for efficient power transfer and resilience against everyday wear. The matching UD and 3K carbon shaft keeps the overall weight down to just 575 g (1.3 lb), helping you stay fresher on longer outings without sacrificing responsiveness.

Unidirectional carbon fibers run along the paddle’s length to maximize stiffness in the paddling direction, while the 3K carbon weave reinforces strength across the blade and shaft. Pre-preg lamination means the carbon is pre-impregnated with resin under controlled factory conditions, resulting in a more consistent layup and enhanced durability compared to traditional hand-laid composites.
