April 25, 2025 – London, UK – Oscar Propulsion, a leader in innovative paddle technology, and AquaPaddle, a rapidly growing community-driven organisation dedicated to making paddle sports accessible to all, are excited to announce a new partnership aimed at expanding access to cutting-edge paddle technology while supporting AquaPaddle’s mission.
Under this collaboration, Oscar Propulsion will provide stand-up paddleboard paddles featuring its revolutionary Cut Blade Technology for sale through AquaPaddle’s website and community groups. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will directly support AquaPaddle’s initiatives, helping to further its work in promoting mental wellbeing and physical health through paddling.
Revolutionising Paddle Sports with Cut Blade Technology
Oscar Propulsion’s Cut Blade Technology is designed to improve paddling efficiency, reduce fatigue, and enhance control—making it an ideal innovation for paddlers of all abilities, including disabled athletes. Recognising its potential impact, both organisations are committed to advancing accessibility in paddle sports and will explore ways to expand the product range to include kayak and canoe paddles in the future.
Driving Global Growth for AquaPaddle
AquaPaddle is growing rapidly across the UK, offering free timed 5km paddles in an effort to build community, encourage participation, and improve mental and physical health through paddling—much like ParkRun has done for running. Through this partnership, Oscar Propulsion will help AquaPaddle expand internationally, leveraging its global network to introduce the initiative to potential new partners.
A Shared Mission: Expanding the Reach of Paddle Sports
To amplify AquaPaddle’s impact, Oscar Propulsion will actively promote the initiative through its social media channels and ambassadors. Ambassadors will be invited to attend AquaPaddle events, engage with participants, and demonstrate the benefits of Cut Blade Technology firsthand.
“We’re thrilled to be working with AquaPaddle,” said Duncan Troy CEO at Oscar Propulsion. “Not only does this partnership bring our innovative paddle technology to more people, but it also aligns perfectly with our vision of making paddling more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. By working together, we can create real momentum in the sport.”
Brett Scillitoe, Founder and Trustee of AquaPaddle, added: “Oscar Propulsion’s commitment to innovation and accessibility in paddle sports makes them a natural partner for us. Their Cut Blade Technology has the potential to transform the paddling experience, particularly for those who might otherwise struggle with fatigue or control. We’re excited to introduce this technology to our paddlers while continuing to grow AquaPaddle’s reach and impact.”
Looking Ahead
The partnership officially launches on today April 25, 2025, with both organisations committed to furthering their shared mission. This collaboration is expected to enhance the paddling experience for thousands, while also providing sustainable funding to support AquaPaddle’s expansion.
