Introducing ZKG Marine Footwear by 
Zhik (a.k.a. the SUP shoe)...

ZKG Stand Up Paddle Shoe by Zhik

You no longer have to worry about what to do with your shoes when you're paddling.


The ZKG by Zhik is a highly technical amphibious shoe that is very lightweight and comfortable. Made of perforated neoprene, the ZKG has just the right amount of cushioning, toe protection, flexibility, and grip to make it awesome for stand up paddling.

ZKG footwear is suitable for a wide range of water activities. And it's just as comfortable, functional and stylish worn everday on the street!

Perfect for extending your paddling season into fall without the hassle of booties.  However, if you plan to paddle in the dead of winter and live in a colder climate, a pair of wetsuit booties would be a better bet.

The ZKG is made by Zhik, an Australian company with a long history of combining style and material science to make high performance sailing apparel. Zhik's products are the choice of Olympic and world champions. 

The ZKG by Zhik is available online and in store now.

Limited Edition Hinano KIALOA Paddles

KIALOA Hinano Toro
Geo Red


KIALOA Hinano Methane
Geo Green
In the spirit of Laulima (teamwork), our friends at KIALOA have once again joined creative forces with 50 + year old Tahitian brewery turned lifestyle apparel manufacturer Hinano to produce two limited edition stand up paddles: the Methane Hinano Geo Green and the Toro Hinano Geo Red. Each one features Hinano's beloved Vahine logo which represents the beauty and mystery of Tahiti. 



The Methane is one of KIALOA's best selling paddles and the Toro is KIALOA's killer new race paddle. For a limited time only, they're both now available with the awesome, iconic Hinano logo. Collector's item status for sure. With the exception of a one-of-a-kind custom made by Dave Chun (which only people like Gerry Lopez and Chuck Patterson are lucky enough to have), these are a couple of the coolest paddles you can find.


To get your hands on the Hinano Methane and/or the Hinano Toro, visit us online or at the shop. For more info on the features and benefits of the Methane and the Toro in terms of design and construction, check out their product pages at our online store or come by the shop. 


Maruru!
