KIALOA Expands Adjustable Stand Up Paddle Line

PRLog (Press Release) - Mar. 5, 2012 - KIALOA Paddles is growing its adjustable standup paddle to include the all carbon LauLau and half-carbon half-fiberglass Hapa.  All KIALOA adjustable paddles feature the innovative LeverLock® adjustable system.  Now there are three adjustable paddles in the IKAIKA series.

The new KIALOA adjustable paddleboarding paddles will be available from your local dealer on April 1, 2012. No fooling.  Find a dealer at www.kialoa.com

The LeverLock® adjustable system is as sleek as it is simple.  Just open the lever, find your height on the graph, line up the center line with the arrows, and close the lever. Combined with KIALOA's IKAIKA Series paddles this system provides the toughest, lightest and most watertight adjustable paddle in the paddleboarding market.

The IKAIKA Series of paddles utilizes for the paddle blade an ultra-impact-resistant Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (CFRT®) technology.  The LauLau Adjustable has a carbon fiber shaft, the Hapa Adjustable has a 50/50 carbon fiber/fiberglass shaft and the Pupu Adjustable has a fiberglass shaft.  With the CFRT blade's durability, offering an adjustable option on the Ikaika paddles was the obvious choice.

The new Hapa Adjustable and LauLau Adjustable paddles are available in small and large blade sizes.  KIALOA now offers three adjustable paddles so you have the perfect paddle for recreational paddling, high performance surfing, or racing.
