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.

Siren's "Get On Board" Demo Days: Jupiter Outdoor Center

Our last stops for Siren's "Get on Board" Demo Days was in my home town of Jupiter, Fl. It was great to see all my friends and hang out together on the water! Everyone was so excited to try the 9'0 and 11'0 Siren SUP Board and the turnout proved it!


It all started on a beautiful Friday afternoon at the Jupiter Outdoor Center(JOC) and Guanabanas Restaurant. It was a perfect day and a perfect venue for taking the Sirens SUP's for a test run. Those who did not actually hit the water had a great time watching from land with a cold beer in hand! If you are ever in the area please go by and check out what is going on at the Jupiter Outdoor Center, they are located right on the Intercoastal Waterway across from the famous Burt Reynolds Park on A1A.
