2013 Kialoa Range.
 KIALOA's introduction to the world of Stand Up Surf Paddles (SUP) began in 2003 with a phone call to Dave Chun from Laird Hamilton. Laird explained that he wanted Dave to build him a 7 foot long paddle so he could propel himself into gigantic waves while standing on his surf board. He had gotten Dave's name from their mutual friend and surfing icon, Gerry Lopez. The long shafts on Laird’s paddles kept breaking and Gerry thought with Dave's background in paddle building that KIALOA might be able to help. The quick solution to Laird’s problem was to graft one of KIALOA's small steering blades onto a piece of long aluminum tubing that was lying around the KIALOA shop. It wasn’t elegant but it didn’t break. And so a new paddling craze began.  |

| Kialoa Toro Racing Paddle |
Designed specifically for racing, the new Toro is named after the sushi cut of the Blue Fin Tuna, one of the fastest fish in the ocean… which reminds us of racer Chuck Patterson.
The Toro features an ultra-thin, Tahitian-style teardrop blade profile with a Powerhook at the tip of the powerface for solid catch and adhesion and a powerface dihedral for additional stability in the water. The shaft and blade are made from a race-specific carbon fiber layup which results in a paddle that is stronger, stiffer, lighter…and faster!
