The Kingfish has the largest surface area of all our models, the outline is based on our Haku model from 2015 and was brought back for the 2025 World Sprint Champs. Designed for paddlers looking for more load on their blade. Carbon reinforced edges for increased durability.

New improved powerface combining all the learnings from previous models. The bottom of the blade is flat to maintain an easy entry and exit. The top of the blade has a slight curve combined with a more V shaped dihedral ensures this blade maintains both stability and hold during the pull phase of the stroke.

Short distance, stronger paddlers for OC1, W1 and W6.

Designer: Kahuwhitiki Morunga. 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.

FAQs

How do I know what paddle length to order?

Use our Paddle Length Calculator to measure your body height and paddling style - or contact us and we’ll help you choose.

Is there a difference between the different paddle design materials?

No all of our paddles have the same weight and performance. The difference comes down to look and feel:

Timber – Offers a natural, traditional aesthetic.

Carbon/Elements/Durable – Made from high-quality carbon fibre, strong and dependable.

Poutama – A premium carbon with a distinctive woven pattern for a unique finish.

Can I design my own paddle or team set?

Yes! We offer full customisation - from logos to patterns. Design here.
