The NRS Fortuna 90 Adjustable SUP Paddle is built for paddlers who want to cover more water, paddle with greater efficiency, and get the most from every stroke. Whether you’re chasing fitness goals, embarking on multi-day adventures, tackling moving water, or simply looking for a high performance paddle that feels effortless in your hands, the Fortuna 90 delivers.
Designed with a slightly smaller 90 sq inch blade, the Fortuna 90 is ideal for smaller paddlers, those with a faster paddling style, or anyone looking to maintain a higher cadence without sacrificing power. The result is a paddle that feels quick, responsive and incredibly efficient over long distances.
Designed for Endurance and Efficiency
Many paddlers assume a larger blade automatically means better performance. In reality, a smaller blade often allows you to paddle more efficiently for longer.
The Fortuna 90’s carefully shaped blade encourages a smoother, faster stroke rate while reducing strain on your shoulders and joints. This makes it a fantastic choice for:
- Touring and distance paddling
- SUP fitness sessions
- Multi-day adventures
- Smaller or lighter paddlers
- Anyone seeking a more efficient paddling technique
Over a long day on the water, those energy savings really add up.
Lightweight Construction, Serious Performance
One of the first things you’ll notice about the NRS Fortuna 90 Adjustable SUP Paddle is how light it feels.
The carbon reinforced fibreglass shaft has been engineered to achieve the perfect balance between stiffness, strength, and flex. At just 20.8 oz (590 g), it offers a light swing weight that helps reduce fatigue and keeps your paddling feeling smooth and natural.
The fibreglass laminate blade transfers power efficiently into the water while remaining tough enough to handle regular use in a variety of environments.
Whether you’re cruising a calm lake, pushing into a headwind, or exploring winding rivers, the Fortuna 90 responds beautifully to every stroke.
Smooth, Flutter-Free Paddling
NRS has packed the Fortuna 90 with performance features that make a real difference on the water.
The 10-degree blade offset creates a clean, powerful catch and helps maximise efficiency throughout the power phase of each stroke. Combined with the blade’s subtle dihedral shape, it delivers a stable, flutter-free feel that allows you to paddle with confidence and control.
You’ll enjoy:
- Cleaner catches
- Improved tracking
- Reduced paddle flutter
- Better energy transfer
- A smoother overall paddling experience
It’s the sort of refinement you might not notice immediately but after a few miles on the water, you’ll wonder how you ever paddled without it.
Ready for Rivers, Touring and Adventure
The NRS Fortuna 90 Adjustable SUP Paddle isn’t limited to one style of paddling.
The rounded blade tip helps deflect rocks and obstacles in shallow water, making it equally at home on rivers as it is on open water adventures.
Meanwhile, the low profile spine on the back of the blade improves control during steering, turning, and correction strokes, giving you confidence when conditions become more challenging.
From fitness paddles before work to weekend expeditions and river exploration, this paddle is ready for whatever adventure lies ahead.
Easy LeverLock® Adjustment
Finding the perfect paddle length couldn’t be easier.
The proven LeverLock® adjustment system offers a generous 16-inch adjustment range, allowing you to fine-tune the paddle to suit different paddlers, board sizes, and paddling conditions.
Whether you’re sharing the paddle with family members or adjusting your setup for different adventures, the Fortuna 90 adapts in seconds.
Why Choose the NRS Fortuna 90?
The NRS Fortuna 90 Adjustable SUP Paddle strikes an impressive balance between power, efficiency, and comfort.

If you’re looking for a premium SUP paddle that rewards good technique, reduces fatigue, and performs across touring, fitness and river paddling, the Fortuna 90 is an outstanding choice.
Because when you’re spending hours on the water, the right paddle doesn’t just improve performance, it transforms the entire experience.
