New Kia Kaha Paddles designs

Ok, so i'm planning some new designs this year. First i'm modifying the 8.5" Sup blade to take a wood shaft, for anyone wanting a small blade or for kids paddle. Also, with using my original 9.5" blade as a base shape, thinking of 9", 9.25", 9.75", 10", maybe not all of them. ANY VOTES?


Also planning a smaller steering again, and a large surf or sailing canoe steering blade.
All feedback appreciated, as I haven't decided what to do first.


To go along with 9.75 paddling blade we recently completed, we will have 9.25 and 9.5. The goal was to have different sizes of the same blade shape.
Also a extra large steering blade for canoe surf or sailing 11.25 wide x 27.
Just started the molding process.



Super stoked with our new surf/ sail steering paddle. Tested it today 4 man canoe surfing. I felt like I had a lot of control over the blade and it stuck really good to the side of canoe. It handled some critical situations with a lot of pressure on it with ease (cranked it hard).

Can't wait to use it sailing.


Tested paddling blade today, worked great. Paddle size 9.75 x 17.5 50" double bend.

  1. Really want to pick up a Kia Kaha paddle, but I don't have Facebook.

    Is there another way to get a hold of Maui?

    Thanks
