Introducing the Upgraded Hiku with Prepreg Carbon Technology
The upgraded Hiku paddle now features advanced Prepreg carbon technology, offering an ultra-lightweight yet incredibly strong design that enhances stability and performance. With a 15-degree blade offset and improved V-shaped power face, the Hiku ensures superior blade stability and efficiency. Great feedback has been received from paddlers worldwide, praising its performance
When designing the Hiku our focus was on increasing stability and hold in the water. To do this we did several things, we increased the blade offset to 10.5cm while maintaining the same entry angle as a Broadbill design, this moves the blade further into a pulling position. We also increased the V on the power face to create an even split for the water giving the blade more stability. The Hiku blade design paired with our new full composite shaft is a great combo.
Blade
Width: 9.25"-9.5"
Length: 18.5"
Offset: 10.5cm
Shaft
When designing our full composite shafts our goal was to create a shaft that is light weight, strong and with similar flex properties to a timber shaft. We are able to achieve this by controlling the percentage of carbon fibre and fibreglass in the shaft and also the orientation of the fibre weave. The result is consistent shaft weights and flex.
