TEMPO-X

SUP PADDLE FOR FITNESS, TOURING & RECREATIONAL RACING

The Hydro TempoX has built a reputation for easy and comfortable speed. Thanks to its use of our proprietary AFT and PST technologies and built with 24T carbon this paddle delivers both exceptional performance and remains comfortable during long paddle sessions. The moderate 10° blade angle further increases ease of use and comfort. Available in Fixed, Adjustable and 3-Piece Adjustable variations, plus four different blade sizes and two shaft diameters, the Hydro TempoX caters to any paddler’s specific needs.

WHY CHOOSE THIS PADDLE?

Silky smooth and consistently forgiving, the Hydro TempoX is the best flat-water paddle for fitness and recreational paddling enthusiasts. Ideal for those paddlers looking to take the next step, the Hydro TempoX incorporates DNA from our best-selling Hydro SynergyX and Hydro SprintX designs to deliver an unparalleled paddling experience, at a reduced price point. 

We used our proprietary AFT and PST to minimize blade movement, resulting in an incredibly smooth and rhythmic paddling experience. The moderate 10° blade angle creates a more forgiving catch, further enhancing the feel and comfort of the paddle stroke. This combination of innovative blade design and higher blade angle allows paddlers to find their flow and hone their technique. 

Built in pre-preg carbon construction, the Hydro TempoX is lightweight, durable, and responsive for a performance-orientated paddling experience.  

The award winning Power Grip ergonomic racing handle ensures your hand remains secure during high cadence paddling bursts and comfortable during long days on the water. 

Available in Fixed, Adjustable and 3-Piece Adjustable, plus four different blade sizes and two shaft diameters, the Hydro TempoX caters to any paddler’s specific needs.

POWER SCOOP
TECHNOLOGY (PST)

The Hydro TempoX features a single moderate scoop design with dihedral shaped edges. This design increases stroke power and delivers forward thrust in a smooth and controlled manner. PST is designed to work in harmony with Advanced Flow Technology (AFT).

ADVANCED FLOW TECHNOLOGY (AFT)

The proprietary Advanced Flow Technology (AFT) is designed to significantly increase paddle efficiency. By reducing fluid turbulence around the blade, unwanted lateral blade movements are eliminated. This increased efficiency leads to a smoother paddle stroke, reduced fatigue, and faster speeds. AFT is designed to work in harmony with our Power Scoop Technology (PST).

 

DESIGNED FOR FITNESS, TOURING & RECREATIONAL RACING

The Hydro TempoX paddle combines its racing pedigree with features which make SUP racing and touring easier and more relaxing over long distances. The concept of easy speed enables you to race, train and paddle hard day after day, without the worry of injury or excessive fatigue. Thanks to these attributes, many of our athletes including world champion Arthur Arutkin, use this sup paddle, for some of their planned training days.
