Shaka Puu SUP Paddle- Kialoa Paddles

Shaka Puu Stand Up Paddle - Kialoa

The Waterman

Mel Puu embodies the spirit of the waterman. A longtime lifeguard at Makaha, Mel is a force to be reckoned with, whether he's tandem surfing, outrigger surfing, or getting tubed with a stand-up surf paddle in hand. He's also been known to give away surf boards and other contest prizes to competitors he felt were more deserving - it's all about having fun on the water for Mel. We're proud to name our new state-of-the-craft stand up surf paddle after him. A portion of Shaka Puu sales are donated to the cause of choice for Mel and his wife Momi, the Makaha Junior Lifeguard Scholarship Program.

The versatile Shaka Puu excels in all SUP disciplines; surfing, distance racing, and fitness paddling. The Shaka is Chuck Patterson's secret weapon.

For the past 20 years, Kialoa Stand Up Paddles have been known for their top-of-the-line high performance paddles. KIALOA full carbon paddles are still the very best when one is looking for a paddle of the highest quality . Designed and engineered with the best ratio between toughness and weight, each paddle utilizes a carbon PowerARC blade design with a 10-degree bend, an ovalized tapered carbon shaft and a carbon Ergo-T. With each drag through the water the paddle feels clean, sharp, and saves energy because of it’s stiff, strong body and narrow, light design.
