Most people’s first SUP experience comes on an inflatable paddleboard with a heavy aluminum paddle—the big box store special. While this is a cost-effective way to get yourself and the entire family on the water for the first time—you’ll want to ditch that low-performance paddle as soon as you can. The easiest upgrade you could make is investing in a quality entry-level SUP paddle—our cost-conscious Ohana is a great option. 

The increased performance starts with the Ohana’s scooped dihedral blade technology and extended tapered scoop, which helps the blade maintain stability and deliver consistent power. To further assist beginner and recreational paddlers, the Ohana’s moderate 10° blade angle promotes an a smooth paddle stroke, while a ridge along the front of the blade increases stiffness both vertically and laterally, resulting in increased strength and stability. 

The Ohana also weighs significantly less than other entry-level paddles thanks to our Reflex60 construction—a 60% carbon and fiberglass blend that features a 12k carbon blade and new UD carbon shaft for enhanced performance and longevity. The smooth matte finish enhances grip and the medium flex shaft generates power and reacts quicker than other shafts.

Our ergonomic 100% carbon handles come with a vivid red matte finish—ideal in both hot and cold climates. The Palm handle fits comfortably in your hand for easy paddling and long days on the water. The Ohana also comes with our ergonomic clamp system, which makes it easy to adjust the paddle to a wide-range of different sizes—ideal for sharing this paddle amongst your friends and family.
