I just wanted to give a shout out to Kialoa Paddles for creating such a rad SUP Paddle. I have their new Methane Paddle and it is awesome! Definitely the best paddle I have put in my hands yet. It has an oval shaped shaft that molds to your hands perfectly, the T shaped handle is super functional and has a smaller 8 inch wide blade. For all you ladies out there listen up! This is a great paddle for us! Being a woman paddler who rides a smaller SUP board (I am 5'3 and 130 pounds) I have found that the Methane takes much less energy to move through the water because of the smaller blade but still provides that quick momentum when you need it with the least amount of effort. All the elements you need in a paddle for the surf as well!
Did I mention it just feels like "butta" in your hands? When you put this paddle in your hands, you will not want to let it go. It makes paddling just that much better and if you have not had the chance to pick up a Kialoa paddle yet, do it soon! You can find your local dealer by visiting

I have a paddle question. Do you need a special length or are they one size fits all?
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Hey Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteYour paddle should be about 8" longer than you are tall. When you get your paddle, you simply cut it to size and attach the handle with some 5 min. epoxy. It's super easy.
Have Fun!
