Evolution Bamboo Highlights
The bamboo version of the Evolution paddle is actually a full end-to-end 12K carbon paddle. Underneath the hand-painted tip and bamboo veneer lies the most advanced carbon materials available with a complex lay-up that produces a strong, light and high-performance paddle.
The Evolution Bamboo SUP paddle combines striking form with the most advanced materials available today. The modern blade shape blends the control and predictability of a tear-drop blade with a racing paddle's power. This carefully crafted shape makes the Honu Evolution SUP paddle your single paddle quiver.
The double dihedral blade was painstakingly designed on a foundation of high-density PET foam to make the blade stroke smooth and controlled without feathering through the water. This feature will be appreciated by both beginners and experts alike. Six sheets of carbon and a single veneer of bamboo are carefully layered to create the perfect blade structure. The second dihedral profile on the front side provides the blade's rigidity, transferring every ounce of power from the paddler.
We paired the versatile SUP paddle blade with our 32mm carbon three-piece shaft for easy travel and storage. The shaft has been crafted from uni-direction and 12K pre-impregnated carbon. This high-quality finish provides the paddler with a textured feel that offers both grip and confidence.
We constructed both the blade and the shaft using pre-preg carbon. This process involves a technician meticulously cutting each shape by hand and pressing the layers into a mold. Once complete, the structure is 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.

Evolution Story
The name 'Evolution' relates to the blade shape we developed that would be our do-it-all paddle. The shape is an evolution of the traditional teardrop shape paddles. We love the forgiveness of the teardrop shape but wanted the performance of a rectangular "racing paddle". So we ended up with a merge of the two shapes known as the Evolution series.

Travelling SUP
Bought this paddle to use with the Honu Bondi 9' 3" inflatible.
3 piece telescopic, well made & easily adjustable, packs away nicely in the board bag.
If Honu keep making boards & paddles of this quality they'll do well.

Great value paddle
Bought this paddle to take into the surf as my other paddle was a fixed length. It works a treat and is great value compared to many other high end paddles. Great that it also comes in a quality carry case. Thoroughly recommend
