We’re excited to unveil the latest advancement in SUP paddle performance: REACT+ Technology (RE+T). Designed for our race and foil paddles, RE+T pushes the boundaries of paddling efficiency and power, delivering a game-changing experience across our performance paddle lineup.
This innovative technology enhances blade stiffness and optimizes energy return through a precise application of pre-preg carbon laminates, maximizing performance while keeping weight to a minimum. With REACT+, you can expect a paddle that’s lighter, faster, and built to elevate your time on the water.
What is REACT+ Technology?
The REACT+ concept was developed to give us greater control over blade flex and increase blade responsiveness, all while minimizing weight through the efficient use of premium-grade materials. Exclusive to Black Project, this advanced technology incorporates two external zero-degree unidirectional higher-modulus pre-preg carbon layers positioned on either side of the blade.
By placing these carbon layers on the outside of the blade, at the maximum vertical distance apart, we multiply the performance gains. The result is a paddle with an optimized stiffness-to-weight ratio, delivering greater paddling power with less weight—making each stroke more efficient and effective.
What are the benefits of REACT+ Technology?
- Increased Paddling Power: More force with each stroke.
- Livelier, More Responsive Blade Feel: Immediate feedback and better control.
- Optimized Stiffness-to-Weight Ratio: Greater efficiency with lighter weight.
- Higher Cadence with Less Effort: Increase stroke rate without increased effort.
- Reduced Fatigue: Paddle longer and more efficiently.
- Faster Overall Paddling: Increased speed and acceleration.
The Paddle Which Gives You Energy
With REACT+ Technology, your paddle becomes a source of energy. As you increase load at the beginning of your stroke, potential energy is stored as the paddle flexes. At the end of the stroke, this stored energy is released, helping the paddle pop smoothly out of the water, accelerating recovery, and propelling you seamlessly into the next stroke.
The integration of REACT+ Technology and premium higher-modulus laminates maximizes energy return to the paddler, reducing fatigue and enhancing performance. The result? A paddle with a lively, responsive feel that exits the water cleanly and feels lighter during recovery, allowing for effortless, efficient strokes.
Optimized for Different Paddlers
REACT+ laminates are tailored to each blade size and paddle type, ensuring every paddler can unlock their full potential. The laminates are carefully graded in width and length to deliver the ideal level of stiffness for different paddling styles and needs, providing a personalized feel that enhances performance and comfort for all paddlers.
Which Paddles Feature REACT+ Technology?
REACT+ Technology is integrated into the Hydro SynergyX, Hydro SprintX, Hydro TempoX, and FoilX paddles. Each of these models benefits from enhanced blade responsiveness and improved power generation, giving paddlers an edge in performance and efficiency across various disciplines.
