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 Evolution Carbon paddle is a versatile paddle combining skilled craftsmanship, premium materials, and performance. The modern blade shape combines the control and predictability of a tear-drop-shaped paddle with the power generated by a square blade and now includes our precision Hex joint system that replaces the lower clamp.

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.

It's pretty awesome

Mine weighed in at 634g which is really close to the advertised weight and far less than my other paddles. I haven't even seen any claiming to be this light. The grip at the top is quite large and makes for a relaxed grip and the shaft is a bit over 28mm, which is also a nice size.

The angle and blade shape make for a nice stable paddle stroke with no flutter. I'm not sure it's the most efficient shape for speed or power, but it slips in and out of the water like a knife. I'd call this my zen paddle.

My only problem with this paddle is that it's too nice to take out on the river. When you hit a rock, you will cringe!

Great support.

After finding a very minor defect in my new paddle Honu promptly mailed out a new paddle that was perfect. They are featherweight light and a pleasure to use. Both the company and the products are top notch.

First paddle - very light

Light and well balanced. However, this is my first paddle and the 1st SUP so can't really compare it to anything.
