Kialoa Paddles: Now in Metal Flake!

Metal flake, more commonly referred to as glitter, has been a staple in the Siren Surfboards line since the beginning. In fact, Channin, the factory that builds our boards, actually pioneered its use for the open-molded wet-layup lamination technique (the technical name for how custom surfboards are glassed) many years ago. Now if only someone would make a metal flake clad paddle....


Enter Kialoa Paddles, who have just introduced metal flake as on option on their paddles. Here I am at Rainbow Sandal's Battle of the Paddle checking it out first hand. Kialoa's motto, "Technology and Tradition Together on the Water," is really apparent in everything they do. And with a great team to test the equipment and provide feedback, it's no wonder why they are able to build one of the best paddles out there.
