If you’re wondering which UV is for you, here’s a quick guide:
UV82: 65-80kg (~143-176lbs)
UV88: 80kg plus (~176lbs plus)
All carbon weight is 16 ounces
UV-82 is 82 sq/in 6.75” wide x 17.5” tall blade
UV-88 is 88 sq/in 7” wide x 18” tall blade
The UV has a scooped power face that strategically channels the way water tries to get around the blade. The UV’s small blade paddles like a bigger blade yet it’s surprisingly smooth into and out of the water making for more efficient strokes than traditional shaped blades. it has very nice powerful grab at the inital catch and is also great for surfing, racing, and high end touring.
The UV is the successor of the previously very popular V-Drive series
