Capital SUP paddler pick: HydroFlowX

“I checked out the Hydro because my shoulder was starting to bother me. In the past I injured my shoulder because the paddle was heavy and not working with me. It took me a long time to recover from that shoulder injury and when I started paddling again I got a new, lighter paddle. Unfortunately I was pushing that paddle to it’s and my limits and my shoulder started talking. I listened and that’s when I checked out the Hydro and I have been using it since.”

— Mark Sanfaçon (Live Water Foundation)
