Ke Nalu 2nds Back in Stock
« on: July 03, 2013, 10:39:30 PM »
We have some second blades back in stock & listed on the site. One thing to note; unlike before where the majority of the seconds were clear-coated, a lot of these are simple cosmetic flaws (small scratches ect.) with only a few being clear coated. There is a very limited supply but I wanted to let the Zoners know first.

The Entry level (plastic blade, xTuf shaft, carbon handle) is finally in production & should be available by the end of the month. Once they ship I'll update. They'd be a good whitewater paddle too, the blade is bomb proof, I've smacked one repeatedly as hard as I could on the street in front of my house & only got slight, easily sand-able, damage on the edge.

Lane, what's the difference between the Elite Wiki vs X-Tuf Wiki blades?

(Searching the site)

Ok, think I found it.

Same material, Elite is not clear coated.

Indeed. I just ordered a Wiki xTuf blade for $107+ $15 shipping.

For me, a backup paddle is mandatory.

I love the high tech approach ;D

Real world testing is always best!

The xTufs are actually made with fiberglass and have a gel coated finish which gives them a solid black appearance . The Elites are made with 3K carbon & you can see the carbon fiber in the finish. Both blades are made in the same molds but the Elites are lighter due to the materials used.

I saw your order for the xTuf, I'll PM you to make sure you're getting what you want before we process the xTuf.

Yeah, that's not something you can really duplicate in a lab...plus it's kinda fun. I'm sure the neighbors wonder what the hell I'm doing.

Please do, I'm looking for a WW paddle right now.

We've had a great response for the seconds that we recently added. I didn't mention them anywhere but here so thanks to all the Zoners for your support! The xTufs are almost gone (only 2 Wikis & 1 Maliko) but there's still a few Elites.
