Evo Carbon Highlights
A light and powerful 3-piece paddle with a heavy-duty travel case. Made with 12K pre-preg carbon with more than seven layers used to make the complex blade shape.
The double dihedral blade profile is built around a high density PVC core, which creates this paddle's source of power and control. The dihedral shape on the back-side makes every blade stroke smooth and controlled without any feathering through the water—an essential feature for beginners and expert paddlers alike. The second dihedral profile on the front side provides the blades rigidity and transfers every ounce of power from the paddler to forward motion.
From our Evolution series, the Evolution Carbon paddle is constructed using aerospace grade pre-impregnated 12K carbon with a matte finish. This means that the carbon sheets include the perfect amount of resin, which is hand-pressed into the mold and cured under pressure and heat in an autoclave. This industry-leading process produces carbon structures that are ~30% lighter and stronger than standard carbon alternatives.

ANTI-TWIST HANDLE
The carbon one-piece handle includes a grove and notch that keep the handle and blade aligned for quick and easy adjustments out on the water.
2 YEAR WARRANTY
Every paddle in the Honu range comes with a full replacement warranty for any manufacturing defects for two years.
PRE-PEG CARBON
Usually reserved for race cars and spacecraft, the Evolution paddle blades are crafted with pre-impregnated carbon that is then cured under pressure in an autoclave oven.
PERFECT FIT HEX-JOINT
Replacing the standard rounded connection with an engineered hexagonal joint removes the need for a clamp and any possibility of the blade twisting in the shaft.
DOUBLE DIHEDRAL
This engineered shape provides strength, stability and power. Water pulls evenly across the blade without feathering, while the front dihedral provides the strength.
Very nice paddle over the stock paddle that came with my Blackwater board. Very happy with my purchase.
Light, super stiff, no play in the joints, enough grip not to slip, but not so much it rubs at your skin, and the carrying case is awesome. It has 3 compartments so none of the pieces rub against each other, which is a great touch. Price wise I probably would have gone with the Hydrus, but this one came with free shipping to Canada which made them almost even. That sealed the deal for me.
This paddle is a must have if you're looking for a sturdy, lightweight SUP paddle.
You can paddle hard and know that the paddle will withstand the force. Being as lightweight as it is, it really makes a difference when you're out on your board for hours.
This paddle for my SUP is quite simply amazing.
Its light wight, very quick 3 piece assembly, extremely sturdy and you can really paddle hard and know that it will withstand the force.
Couldn't see myself going back to anything else.
I'm going to be looking to get my wife one as well.
I got to use the Honu paddle for the first time yesterday. It is light and sturdy. I like how they designed it. I have a perfect grip wit it and 3 parts connected paddle does not loosen while being used and does the job in getting power from the water. Great Job Honu!
