"The paddle should disappear in the paddlers hand, it should be an extension of the person, and it is only working properly when people forget it is in their hand."

~Dave Chun

At KIALOA we focus on building paddles specifically designed for sports like surfing, racing, whitewater, and fitness. While we also make all-around paddles that can be used for all activities, paddlers looking for the greatest performance need paddles designed for their specific use, (you wouldn’t use a mountain bike for road racing).

At KIALOA we design the products we build. Our design is founded in tradition and experience—crafting paddles for over 23 years. We are constantly researching the newest technologies and strive to apply the latest materials to our designs. It is our mission to provide the best products for paddlers through innovative design, selective materials, and a lean manufacturing process. Our US based production facility allows us to have superior quality control of each product that goes out the door. It is our desire to build a paddle that lasts so we can share our time with you on the water for as long as possible.


While the company of KIALOA strives for excellence in the products it produces, the people of KIALOA strive to be “together on the water.” It is the laughter, struggles, stories, and being a part of a team that really bring excitement into our lives and challenge us to further develop the sport of paddling.
