💧 Paddle Smarter, Not Harder – Meet FlowForce - Now in the AquaPaddle Shop

Every paddle sold helps support AquaPaddle events across the UK!

If you love the simplicity and community vibe of AquaPaddle, you’re probably also someone who enjoys getting the most out of your time on the water—whether you’re chasing a PB or just cruising with a smile.

That’s exactly why we’re excited to introduce FlowForce paddles—now available in the AquaPaddle online shop. And here’s the best part: for every FlowForce SUP paddle sold, a donation goes directly to support AquaPaddle, helping keep events free and accessible for everyone.

What is FlowForce?

FlowForce is a next-generation paddle design that takes inspiration from the science of fluid dynamics—but what it really delivers is a smoother, more efficient, and more enjoyable paddling experience.

The secret? Slits in the blade that allow a small amount of water to pass through. It sounds simple, but the impact is big:

• Reduces pressure at the start of your stroke (less strain on your joints)
• Cuts drag and turbulence, making each stroke feel smoother
• Improves blade stability, especially in choppy conditions
• Helps you paddle farther, with less fatigue

In other words: more drive, less fight.

And who doesn’t want that on a 5k paddle?

Real Paddlers, Real Results

FlowForce has been tested by endurance paddlers and recreational weekenders alike. Many describe the sensation of the blade “locking in” more cleanly with less effort—giving them more glide with less muscle burn.

“It just feels easier—like the paddle’s working with me, not against me.”

Sounds Cool, But Is It Just Theory?

Nope. It’s backed by science and testing:

• CFD simulations (fancy computer models for water flow) show reduced turbulence and wasted energy
• Real-world paddlers report feeling less fatigue and more drive over long distances
• Joint loading drops, meaning you’re less likely to overwork your shoulders and elbows
• You’ll likely go farther, faster, and recover quicker

One paddler put it best:

“It feels like the blade locks in better with less effort. More drive, less fight.”

A Quick Look Under the Hood

If you’re into the physics side of things, here’s what’s happening:

• Bernoulli’s Principle: As water flows through the slits, it speeds up and lowers pressure behind the blade. That pressure difference = forward drive.
• Lift and Drag: Blades generate both. Slits help reduce unhelpful drag (like swirling vortices) while preserving the good kind—the one that helps you move.
• Handle Force: That’s your effort going into the paddle. FlowForce reduces the force needed to get the same—or more—propulsion.

In short: less energy wasted, more energy translated into forward motion.

Support AquaPaddle with Every Stroke

We believe in what AquaPaddle stands for: open access, community wellbeing, and safe, inclusive paddling for all.

That’s why we donate a portion of every FlowForce SUP paddle sold through the AquaPaddle shop back to the organisation. When you upgrade your gear, you’re also helping AquaPaddle grow and reach more paddlers across the UK.

Try It. Feel It. Love It.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your paddle could be doing a little more for you—FlowForce is your answer.

Smarter design, smoother strokes, and a good cause to back it.

Because the only thing better than a great paddle… is one that gives back.
