KIALOA Paddles is very excited to announce the newest Hybrid outrigger paddle to our line. The Nehu derives its outline shape from the Axel 2. A near exact copy in the tip area, the Nehu is longer in length by 1 ½” and 3.25 square inches larger in surface area. Raised ribs reinforce the knife thin blade on the front and back. The tip has a hooked arc, which facilitates a quick and solid “catch”. At 195g/6.8oz, the blade weighed separately from the other components of the paddle, it is our lightest. Like my favorite tools, the Nehu is pared down to the basic essentials. It is elegance through simplicity.
The Nehu or the Hawaiian Anchovy, was a bait fish used to catch Tuna in the days of the hook and pole commercial fishing in Hawaii. Unlike modern day high tech fishing, where purse seine nets are used to surround and slaughter an entire school of Tuna, commercial pole fishing was more sustainable as not all the fish were caught, allowing the majority of the school to escape and live to repopulate their numbers.
We are confident that the Nehu will become our most popular OC-6 racing Hybrid in no time.Look for our ad in the newest Pacific Paddler and have your smartphone ready. A QR code will be displayed and will take you to the newest information about the Nehu.
