🏁 Hydrus Ruckus Flyweight Paddle

Featherweight Power. Precision by Design.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The Ruckus Flyweight completely changed how I paddle. It’s light, powerful, and feels alive in my hands — like it reads my intent before I even pull. I’ve used other high-end paddles, but this one just disappears in the water. Pure connection.”
— Alex Mitchell., Competitive SUP Racer

🚀 Shipping Now — Custom Built for You

The Hydrus Ruckus Flyweight Paddle is the purest expression of efficiency we’ve ever built.
No gimmicks. No “fiber-reinforced plastic.” Just uncompromising performance and feel — born from years of real-world paddling, testing, and refinement.

We built it for paddlers who crave connection — for those who want every ounce of effort to translate directly into forward motion.

At just 13.9 ounces, this paddle feels almost weightless in your hands — yet every stroke delivers tangible drive and speed.

How It Works: You Choose. We Build.

Each Ruckus is custom-cut to your exact preference for the perfect fit and balance.
At checkout, simply leave a note with:

Your desired cut length (measured from tip of blade to top of handle),

Or “Need help” — and we’ll help you dial it in.

Or “Self-cut” if you prefer to trim it yourself.

Max current length typically available: 81” *up to 87.5” available upon request. The blades matched with the extra long shafts are XL (92sqin) and specialty tuned for larger paddlers or paddlers cruising with a more upright stance.

We join the handle and shaft with a heat-activated thermoplastic adhesive, forming a strong, precise bond that stays solid on the water but can be reheated later for quick adjustments to paddle length or repairs.

⚙️ Why Ruckus Flyweight Stands Alone

1️⃣ True Featherweight Performance — Without Compromise

Weighing as little as 13.95 oz (at 76"), the Ruckus is lighter than most race paddles — yet stiffer, tougher, and more responsive.
Engineered from woven 30T pre-preg carbon fiber, every fiber is precision-aligned for maximum power transfer with minimal fatigue.

You’ll feel it instantly: quicker cadence, sharper acceleration, and effortless control over long distances.

2️⃣ Double-Concave Blade Design — Power You Can Feel

Every curve was sculpted through months of hydrodynamic testing.
The deep dual concaves create a stable “locked-in” catch, hold the water through the power phase, and release with zero flutter.

“It grips the water like nothing else — intuitive, powerful, and clean. You just feel faster.”
— Jason Z., Hydrus Co-Founder

Two precision-tuned blade options:

Size | Surface Area | Width | Best For
Medium | 84 in² | 6.38" | Smaller paddlers, endurance, higher cadence
Large | 90 in² | 7" | Stronger paddlers, max drive per stroke

🔹 Pro Tip: Blade area (in²) alone doesn’t define performance. Shape, edge profile, and concave depth matter more — and the Ruckus is optimized across all three.

3️⃣ Ergonomic Shaft + Handle — Built for the Human Body

The Ruckus uses our tapered shaft technology:

Stiffer at the base for explosive power,

Slightly softer and slimmer toward the grip for comfort and control.

The medium-stiff flex protects your joints without robbing drive, and the ergonomic palm handle promotes relaxed grip and natural wrist alignment.

High-visibility red handle = easy to spot if dropped in waves or current.

4️⃣ One-Piece Precision — Nothing to Flex, Nothing to Fail

No adjustment systems. No extra weight.
Just pure, seamless carbon — every millimeter optimized for feel, stiffness, and reliability.

One-piece construction means:
✅ Consistent energy transfer
✅ Lighter overall weight
✅ No rattle, play, or weak joints

🔬 Performance Insights

The Ruckus isn’t a rebranded paddle — it’s a complete rethink of how water, carbon, and energy interact.

Every feature is built to maximize efficiency and feedback. You’ll feel the catch engage immediately — the paddle plants like an anchor, drives straight, and releases with zero chatter.

Every Ruckus paddle is assembled using thermoplastic heat-bonding—the same method used by top race paddle builders. This process gives us a rock-solid bond between the carbon shaft and handle, yet still lets you fine-tune length or alignment with a little heat and know-how.

Why it matters: no brittle epoxy joints, no messy repairs, no compromise. The connection feels permanent when you’re paddling hard, but it’s fully serviceable in your garage. Heat, adjust, re-set—done.
