Inspired by stand up paddle board shaper Blane Chambers of Paddle Surf Hawaii, the Kialoa Methane features minimal surface area and a narrow blade design for quick acceleration and maneuverability in the surf.

The Methane weighs in at a mere 21 ounces. 100% carbon fiber construction gives this lightweight paddle its extremely high strength to weight ratio. When most people pick up this paddle for the first time, they are amazed at how light it feels.

Featherweight construction allows for quicker cadence and quicker paddle placement at critical sections of the surf. If you need to whip the paddle behind you or to the opposite side of your board, you’ll be able to put it there in the blink of an eye.

Kialoa’s unidirectional Ergo-T design handle fits comfortably in your palm and provides great blade control.

Compared to other paddles on the market, the diameter of the shaft is smaller but a slimmer shaft doesn’t mean a weaker paddle.

The blade covers 97 square inches of surface area. The narrow blade and small surface area are excellent for the surf where quick acceleration is essential.

The narrow design allows you to keep the blade close to your board as you paddle, resulting in more forward propulsion and straighter tracking.

Lightweight construction and extensive product testing have made this paddle the choice of many top stand up paddlers on the water today.

We're happy to custom cut the shaft at no extra charge. If you'd prefer to cut it yourself, you still need to let us know what size you need so that we send you one that can be cut to your desired length. Height plus 8 inches is the usual (1 shaka overhead). If you're not sure what length you need, check out our SUP Paddle Length Guide.

Please note that custom-cut paddles are non-returnable.
