Kialoa 'Ewalu SUP Race Paddle

$415.00 $352.75

Built for SUP course racing, the Kialoa® 'Ewalu SUP Race Paddle is the result of collaborative efforts between racer Kenny Kaneko and Kialoa designer Dave Chun. The 'Ewalu features a stiff blade and shaft for efficient energy transfer when sprinting for position in the draft pack, a straight cut side outline profile for close blade placement to the board rail, and an 8° blade angle to maximize the catch phase when paddling in an aggressive forward body position.

This paddle's Carbon Ergo-T™ Grip provides the greatest level of control, allowing you to orient the blade while maintaining a relaxed hand position. 'Ewalu, the Hawaiian numeral eight, is a lucky number in Asian cultures - a homage to Kenny's Japanese and Dave's Chinese heritage.

Born on the Island of Oahu in 1991, Kialoa® Paddles grew out of Dave Chun's love for the sport of outrigger canoe racing. Driven by the desire to build the best paddles in the world, Dave started crafting wood paddles on his parents' lanai.

Shortly thereafter, he met Meg, a Midwesterner transplanted to Hawaii. It was a marriage of west and east, island heritage and mainland progressiveness. The Chuns moved the company to Bend, Oregon in 1992, bringing the Aloha spirit with them. Against all odds, they started an outrigger club in the High Desert.

Nowadays Kialoa makes a full line of stand up, outrigger, and dragon boat paddles. And you can still find Dave and Meg paddling on the Deschutes River near their shop.

Kialoa - together on the water.
