STAND UP PADDLES
YEARSCELEBRATING
SIZING YOUR STAND-UP PADDLEAs a general guide, add 6-10 inches to your height to determine paddle length. If you plan to use your paddle predominantly in the surf or in downwind conditions, go to the lower end of the range. For flatwater conditions, where you are standing in a more upright position, go to the higher end of the range.
6 - 10 inches

It was 20 years ago that I started building paddles on my parent’s lanai in Kailua. My one-person paddle shop generated a lot of noise and dust; the only relief for the neighbors was rainy windy days when my blue tarp walls failed to protect me. Our neighbors must have thrown a block party when in August of 1992, a Matson shipping container, filled to capacity with my tools, headed off to Bend, Oregon.
Twenty years later I realize I am one of the lucky ones. The curiosity that drove me to build the first two paddles as wedding gifts remains and I still get up each morning excited to get into my shop and work on my next project.
It seems an impossible task to thank everyone who has been a part of our KIALOA family all these years. In the words of JFK, “…we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.” Each day at KIALOA we live like we paddle by following our guiding principles and understanding that it is the entire community, together on the water, that makes this 20th anniversary possible.
Aloha and Mahalo,

the biomechanics of the female
paddler. This paddle is ideal in the
surf and will keep you fresh and
strong in a long distance race.
