Paddles - 2008
Stand up on your surfboard
or windsurfer and paddle? An easy-to-handle, lightweight,
efficient paddle enables you to put more energy into getting
where you want to go without getting worn out. Though we
recommend a top-quality paddle for comfort and
performance, you may want to get an inexpensive paddle for kids
and rough play. We have both on this list from $89.00 to
$329.00.
Kialoa Paddles
The Bend, Oregon based artisan
paddle manufacturer KIALOA makes each paddle
by hand. Four years ago some of the world's top surfers asked
them to design a better stand-up surf paddle. They applied
their extensive knowledge in paddle construction and design
for both flat water and ocean conditions to tailor a
paddle specifically for stand-up. Use this paddle on the
lakes or in the ocean surf and flat water. We are proud to
offer these choices of stand-up surf paddles made by
KIALOA for the discerning standup paddler.
To choose your size, add 8-10 inches to your height.

Shaka Pu'u - New for 2008!
Mel Pu'u embodies the spirit of the waterman. A longtime
lifeguard at Makaha, Mel is a force to be reckoned with,
whether he's tandem surfing, outrigger surfing, or getting
tubed with a stand-up surf paddle in hand. He's also been
known to give away surf boards and other contest prizes to
competitors he felt were more deserving - it's all about having
fun on the water for Mel. We're proud to name our new
state-of-the-craft stand-up surf paddle after him. A portion of
Shaka Pu'u sales are donated to the cause of choice for Mel and
his wife Momi, the Makaha Junior Lifeguard Scholarship
Program.
The Shaka Pu'u blade profile is our smallest paddle and allows
for quick acceleration through the water without pulling the
surfer off balance. Ideal for catching waves and keeping
yourself in the surf.

Kole Stand-Up Surf Paddle
Buy for
$329.00
This full-carbon stand-up surf paddle features a super-strong,
custom oval tapered shaft that has the perfect amount of
stiffness for efficient energy transfer but with enough flex to
be comfortable paddling the distance. A 10-degree bent
shaft facilitates an efficient catch and a balanced swing
weight makes for an effortless return. The comfortable
unidirectional Ergo-TTM top let’s you know the
orientation of the paddle without having to look down at the
blade. The Kole features our Holly blade shape, which is
ideal for surfers who prefer a smaller paddle. The
Kole’s size allows for easy tempo changes and is a good
choice for distance paddling.
