A New Dimension of Comfort and Performance
The key feature of the Bass Extreme Pro Hard 1P Tapered is the combination of Hard Flex performance with the new Tapered Shaft.
Unlike conventional shafts with a constant diameter, the new shaft gradually tapers from 29 mm at the blade to 23.5 mm at the handle.
As a result:
- the lower hand works on the stiffer section of the shaft, transferring power more efficiently to the blade,
- the upper hand grips the narrower section, improving comfort,
- hand and forearm fatigue is reduced during long sessions,
- the grip feels more natural for different hand sizes,
- the paddle provides even better blade feel throughout every stroke.
This solution will be especially appreciated by professionals who spend many hours training and regularly compete in races.
Why Choose Bass Extreme Pro Hard 1P Tapered?
Ultra-Light Construction
The paddle’s low weight reduces arm fatigue during intensive training sessions and races, improves stroke dynamics and helps maintain maximum performance throughout the effort.
Depending on the selected size, Bass Extreme Pro Hard 1P Tapered weighs only approximately 500–600 g at its maximum factory length, making it one of the lightest one-piece high-performance SUP Race paddles in its class.
Tapered Shaft
An innovative shaft design that improves grip ergonomics and paddling comfort without compromising stiffness or performance.
Hard Flex
Maximum Stiffness. Instant Response.
Hard Flex has been developed for professionals seeking the most direct power transfer and maximum efficiency during sprints, races and high-intensity training sessions.
It enables paddlers to unleash their full power, delivering an immediate response with every stroke.
Bass Extreme Pro Racing Blade
The deep concave blade increases stability in the water and generates more power with every stroke.
Tailored to the Paddler
Three blade sizes allow the paddle to be precisely matched to the paddler’s body weight, paddling style and preferred cadence.
Technology That Makes the Difference
Bass Extreme Pro Hard 1P Tapered is manufactured entirely from 100% Carbon Prepreg 12KT with Spread Tow Fibers.
The combination of 12KT Carbon Prepreg technology and Spread Tow Fibers creates an exceptionally lightweight, ultra-stiff and highly durable construction, delivering lightning-fast response and maximum power transfer with every stroke.
Combined with the Tapered Shaft, it provides maximum stiffness, outstanding precision and the most direct power transfer possible.
On the Water This Means:
- instant response to every movement,
- maximum power transfer,
- precise blade feel,
- total control during sprints and races.
Bass Extreme Pro Racing Blade
The Bass Extreme Pro blade has been designed for maximum efficiency in competitive paddling.
Its deep concave profile increases resistance and improves blade stability throughout every stroke.
A reinforced blade neck together with additional carbon reinforcement along the blade edges increases stiffness, allowing maximum energy transfer with every stroke.
The result is a powerful and stable catch, precise tracking and predictable blade performance even under the most demanding racing conditions.
