Custom Paddles
To order call 808-280-3142

 

 



Malama has retired so unless you are an existing customer, he won't be making paddles. For existing customers, the wait time is a year or more and prices on this website are out of date.

Each of our paddles is handmade from wood by Malama himself.
Wood lasts longer since it doesn't chip as much and can be easily refinished to new condition.
Wood is easier on your joints since it has a slight flex.
Any wood paddle is more beautiful and traditional than a nonwood paddle.

All paddles handles are wrapped with 2 oz fiberglass and the entire paddle has an epoxy undercoat to increase durability (HCRA legal)

Our standup paddles are made of wood so they are easier on your joints (not so rigid)
