KIALOA

Le'ahi Double Bend Outrigger Paddle Unconfigured

  • Leahi

    Thoroughly tested and approved by our 'elele in Hawaii and on the mainland. The Leahi was inspired by KIALOA founder Dave Chun.  The Leahi features a one piece triple laminated wood upper bend and grip along with a carbon fiber lower shaft.  Stiff blade construction combined with a new blade shape and 12 degree offset for maximum power transfer and efficiency through the water.

    This option of the Leahi is Unconfigured, meaning it will arrive in parts allowing for you to cut to size. By shipping the paddle in parts, the cost of shipping is significantly reduced. This option will accommodate lengths up to 53”.  Directions and video on how to assemble the Leahi can be found here. (If a longer length is needed, please contact customer service at customerservice@kialoa.com.)  Video: How to Size your Outrigger Paddle.
