This paddle design is inspired by Matariki, the Māori New Year, and the deep connection between the stars and the natural world that surrounds us as paddlers. Each star in the Matariki cluster is linked to elements of the environment—such as the wind, rain, tides, and food sources—that shape our experiences on the water.
