Gear

Kialoa is easily the most popular paddle manufacturer in our club and other clubs in the area. They have a variety of tried and true blades.

Northwest River Supply (NRS) has all sorts of paddling gear for warmth in cold weather and sun protection in hot weather as well as a few PFD designs that are great for outrigger.

Kai Ko'o makes beautiful Custom paddles that are becoming more popular recently
