Dragon Boat Paddle by KIALOA

March 16, 2009 - PRLog -- Almost a decade ago KIALOA, manufacturer of high end racing canoe and surf paddles, came out with the first carbon wood hybrid canoe paddle for the outrigger market.  We’re now bringing that technology to the world of dragon boating. Dragon boat racing is the fastest growing paddle sport in the world.  The sport originated in China and has become popular worldwide as a club sport emphasizing teamwork.

The brilliance of a wood and carbon paddle comes from the natural shock absorption of the wood shaft and the strength and lightness of a carbon blade. KIALOA's success with the hybrid outrigger paddle created a stir with dragon boat racers and the demand for a hybrid dragon boat paddle was created.  

The KIALOA Dragon Hybrid http://www.kialoa.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=130 has a triple laminated wood shaft and hand shaped Ergo-T™ with a full carbon blade.  We believe that the feel of the elliptical hand shaped wood shaft and t-top will win over Dragon Boaters as it has so many other paddling athletes.
