Collection: Rigid Paddles

You absolutely need roof bars. The trick is to use protective foam on the bars and secure the board with ratchet straps (without overtightening to avoid crushing the structure).

Always place the fin facing forward and upward for better aerodynamic safety.

Hard paddleboards offer superior glide thanks to their sleek hull, refined rocker, and sharp rails. Inflatable boards, being more flexible and portable, remain an ideal compromise for travel and family outings.

If the crack exposes the internal foam, do not re-enter the water (the foam will absorb water and make the board heavier). You can make a temporary repair with Solarez (UV-curing resin) or take the board to a shaping workshop for an invisible repair.

It's quite simple, but crucial:

• Rinse with fresh water after each outing (especially at sea).
• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight on the beach: heat increases the pressure of the air trapped in the core, which can cause delamination (the skin peeling off).

For a rigid paddleboard, a cover is not an option; it's essential. It protects against UV rays, scratches during transport, and makes handling easier. A board without a cover ages twice as fast.

To start, opt for a wide (between 31 and 34 inches) and voluminous (180 L and more) board, which is forgiving of imbalances. The SROKA Comet was specifically designed for schools and beginners due to its exceptional stability.

SROKA designs its rigid paddles in Brittany with an absolute demand for robustness, glide, and durability. The Comet range is based on a patented rail-less construction, which eliminates the classic weak points of traditional rigid boards.

Yes, that's its primary purpose. The Comet was designed to withstand intensive use in schools and rental centers, and it's an ideal replacement for the old BIC Sport boards that are no longer on the market.
