THE FASTEST PADDLE FOR SPRINTING & SHORT DISTANCE RACING
The first paddle made specifically for sprinting and short-distance races. The Hydro SprintX was designed to help paddlers push their limits with maximum acceleration and top speed. Every feature of this paddle is optimized for speed and winning races. With a 7.5° blade angle, a shallower power pocket, and a wider and more compact blade outline––your first stroke will generate an instant burst of acceleration. We also reduced the blade volume to speed up entry and exit, helping you maintain an extremely fast cadence for sprinting.
TOUR CARBON – OVAL TAPER SHAFT
The all-new Tour Carbon shaft series is a key component of the Hydro SprintX that brings reduced weight, added power, responsiveness, grip, and comfort. The tapered oval design increases stiffness in the lower shaft area for enhanced stability and power transfer to the blade. The more flexible and thinner round upper section helps to reduce fatigue. The oval-shaped middle-grip area provides a directional feel and a secure grip with a natural carbon-textured matte finish. Our lightest, most responsive shafts are built with 30T carbon. The Tour series offers four distinct profiles, each with various length and stiffness options.
POWERGRIP HANDLE
The award-winning hollow carbon PowerGrip ensures that every ounce of effort is translated into forward motion; the ergonomic design maintains comfort throughout extended paddling sessions.
REACT+ TECHNOLOGY (RE+T)
Unveiling our latest innovation, the Hydro SprintX features REACT+ Technology (RE+T). This incorporates two external 30T UD carbon plates, amplifying blade power, responsiveness, and energy return. Strategically placing these laminates on the outer layer of the structure multiplies the overall effect, resulting in an impressive stiffness-to-weight ratio. The RE+T is tuned for each blade size, ensuring optimal flex tailored to paddler size.
ADVANCED PADDLE TECHNOLOGY (AFT & PST)
Utilizing our Advanced Flow with Power Scoop technology and built with 30T carbon and Kevlar, this is the fastest accelerating paddle on the market. If you are serious about winning, the Hydro SprintX belongs in your paddle quiver for short-distance racing, technical racing and sprinting. Due to it’s power and acceleration the Hydro SprintX is popular for downwind SUP foiling.
PADDLE BAG INCLUDED
All Hydro SprintX paddles come complete with our Paddle Bag ($125 value).

Hydro Sprint XL - Great Sup Foil Paddle
cct8619-July 18, 2024 at 4:05 am
I’ve used the Sprint XL for a couple of years to sup foil and sup foil downwind. It is a very durable paddle. One of the things that I like best about the paddle is that it allows for a higher cadence compared to paddles with very large blade angles and is much more forgiving on the shoulders. With a blade angle of 7 degrees, this paddle forces good paddle technique. The carbon construction is very light on these paddles which also helps for high cadence. I have my paddle cut to forehead height and find that to be perfect for sprinting with this paddle. The one thing to note is that the carbon shaft can sometimes feel slippery.
Hydro SprintX Makes Paddling Easy

This is my main paddle for my Downwind foil sessions. The paddle is incredibly light and powerful. The amount of power the paddle produces is insane and the ease of release is even better!
The Hydro SprintX Paddle Gets The Job Done

I’ve been using the Hydro SprintX paddle for my downwind foiling sessions, The paddle’s design is optimized for power and efficiency, which is crucial when paddling up in open ocean swell and maintaining speed. The Hydro SprintX excels in delivering a powerful catch and smooth release. The Hydro SprintX paddle has significantly enhanced my downwind foiling experience. Its blend of power, efficiency, durability, and comfort makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking to take it to the next level. I highly recommend the Hydro SprintX to fellow paddlers and foilers seeking top-tier performance and reliability. MAHALO to Chris and the entire Black Project Team!
Hydro Sprint X
cgrandis.afp-July 14, 2024 at 8:15 am
I have transitioned to sprint racing this season. The Hydro Sprint X has been a game-changer! It has an incredible catch, has quick feather-like release, and is very light, which decreases fatigue yet is strong enough to provide a stable third point of contact with step-back turns.
I just changed to a Tiger21 fin. Sometimes, the combination makes me feel like I am dancing with my board!
Perfect paddle - highly recommended
Surfncurtis-July 11, 2024 at 1:39 am
SprintX 2024 Size M – my favorite paddle. Strong, perfect catch and release, unbelivable light.
You can choose any stroke rate for perfect acceleration. 2024 shaft and overall construction awsome. Love it.
SprintX just gets better and better!
Mick-July 10, 2024 at 9:37 pm
Onto my second sprint X paddle as sadly broke the blade on a foil after one too many hits 🙂 ! Loved the first version so much had to get a new one with updated construction. This one is even better, stronger , stiffer and the new oval taper shaft feels great too. So stoked, didn’t think the sprintX could get better but they just did!!
Most power of catching water
Takehiko Ueno-July 10, 2024 at 1:41 pm
more than flox by catching water capa,
I made sprint & flow same time.
But using only sprint usual traning & race.
That’s reason of catching water,
Absolute weapon
Daniel Hughes-June 22, 2024 at 7:20 am
This paddle is by far the best in every sector of design flex where you want it and need it, a handle that fills your hand properly for a solid connection, blade design that’s reacts like a smaller paddle but all the power of a bigger blade. This paddle is build like a tank yet lite as a feather. The assembly is finished with hot glue makes tuning so quick and easy, plus a paddle bag?!? That bag has just as many features as the paddles themselves. Chris and the black project team have really knock it out with attention to detail. By far my most favorite paddle to date.
Strive for the best!!
ajzowacki-April 23, 2024 at 4:33 am
Absolutely fantastic paddle to continue the legacy of having the top and best paddlers for beginner to advanced!! The Hydro SprintX is an incredibly versatile and lightweight paddle. This paddle has made my paddling a million times stronger by being able to move more water and not feeling any fatigue or stress on my body. It has also gave me the ability to speed up my paddle strokes; getting more stronger paddles in a shorter time and distance!! All in all highly recommend this paddle and any of the paddles in the black project line up!!!
Chris Freeman-May 4, 2024 at 8:32 am
Stoked you love it 😍
Brilliant paddle for sprints and short tech racing!
jane.rattanachai-December 15, 2023 at 2:49 pm
This paddle really exceeded my expectations! Amazing for sprinting as you’re able to keep a fast cadence and more importantly I’ve noticed hardly any shoulder fatigue. If you’re looking for a sprinting paddle this is it!
This paddle grabs hard, and is solid throughout your stroke
gentsch-May 14, 2023 at 9:11 am
I really like this paddle. It surprised me as my old BP travel paddle is a great paddle but not my favorite. This one piece Hydro Sprint-X is a game changer. It plants hard and is smooth and firm as you pull through the stroke. It exits cleanly and is super light and stiff but not abusive on my old joints. I got it for short races, but have used it on up to 10km races and still love it. When unstable it feels more solid when i brace… yeah i don’t get this one but it does to me. This is the best BP paddle for me, it is fantastic!
Great SUP foil paddle
vince.gorman-May 14, 2023 at 3:23 am
I’ve been getting into DW SUP foiling lately and this paddle has opened up the types of bumps that I can catch. It has good power when paddling slow and once you get a little momentum going it has really good power when paddling fast. I weigh 150lbs and the medium blade seems to fit me well.
Hydro SprintX continues the legacy
James Nickerson-May 13, 2023 at 8:36 am
This paddle delivers on its promise of immediate power to accelerate off the line, Ultra-light weight and a cleaner blade help make for a super fast turnover in sprints and technical races. I’ve been paddling the Hydro FloX for a couple of years and, as an intermediate paddler, I found it very easy to adjust to the Sprint version. The shortened blade means your don’t have to plunge it quite as deep for a good catch and the decreased paddle angle means you get your power phase sooner in the stroke and can initiate the recovery just before your feet. Like all of BP paddles, you need to try them to fully appreciate the difference.
The SprintX is a killer paddler for downwind SUP foiling!
docmick7-May 12, 2023 at 10:59 pm
I have been testing a few brands of paddles to find the most efficient paddle to use to get up on foil for downwind SUP Foiling and SUP surf Foiling. SprintX checks that box better than anything else out there! Efficient, light weight and nice and perfect amount of stiffness and flex in the right places so your shoulders are not worn after a session. Plenty of power when i need it which is from the first catch on the first stroke. I am 93kg and chose the XL and was the perfect size for me. Thank you Chris and the BP team for such a great paddle!
A powerful addition to the BP quiver!
Randy ‘Miles’ Hendricks-March 29, 2022 at 1:05 pm
“My new SprintX is a powerful addition to the BP quiver, which includes the HydroX! Two bags (great design with many excellent features) hold two superb paddles depending on my mood, conditions, and desire for pure stiff power vs. power with a bit of flex (slim shaft on the Hydro). Thank you BlackProject for providing an excellent experience – from ordering to timely advice and guidance from Chris to super fast shipping and well-protected packaging of the paddle. From Miles in Spokane to Black Project in Maui, aloha and gracias.”
