Your paddle should match your technique, distance, and craft (OC1/W1/W6). Here’s a clear breakdown of our current line-up, plus how to dial in the right length with our calculator.
Hiku — Lightweight control with extra hold
Blade design: Rounded entry with the widest point higher up the face to soften the catch without sacrificing hold. Carbon-reinforced edges for durability.
Shaft: Full composite shaft with regular flex (Hiku-only).
Powerface: Increased blade offset to 10.5 cm, moving the blade further into a pulling position for more stability and hold. The Hiku features our longest, most-defined V in the dihedral for stability through the pull.
Ideal for: Paddlers seeking a lightweight, high-performance blade for OC1 and W6.

Broadbill — Proven, versatile mid-size
Blade: Versatile mid-sized profile for short and long distance; carbon-reinforced tapered edges for maximum durability.
Powerface: Simple flat powerface for a forgiving entry/exit. The blade sits forward on the mid-point of the shaft to increase stability during the pull.
Ideal for: Paddlers, clubs, and schools wanting high performance with excellent longevity.

Kingfish — Largest surface area for bigger load

Powerface: New, improved layout: bottom third flat for easy entry/exit; top two-thirds slightly curved plus more V-shaped dihedral to lock in stability and hold through the pull.
Ideal for: Short-distance, stronger paddlers across OC1/W1/W6.
