So with the ability to hot glue your paddle together you are not locked into 1 size for life. That is great, some how i missed that before. Are the Ke Nalu's the only paddle that Hot gluing is being done with?

Our paddle grips also come with stems dipped in hot glue...we glued up the first Pohaku (pre-C4) SUP paddles with hot glue starting back in 2005...

Of course you "could have" hot glued any paddle previously but all the major mfg "recommended" 2 part Epoxy.

KeNalu is the first paddle to my knowledge that has hot glue as the std and to have interchangeable Shafts, Blades & Handles

Bill & Company really thought these paddles out and once you paddle with it you can REALLY feel the difference

Sorry about being redundant but they REALLY are that good

It's not a matter of "could have"...we did it...over 6 years ago...;-)
We were the first Pohaku SUP paddle dealer in North America...back when most windsurfing dealers were calling standup a passing fad...;-)

http://surfingsports.com/standup_gear/index.html

The main reason that we used hot glue was the misinformation being shared on the internet about proper paddle length...one shaka...two shaka...etc...so we gave people the option to experiment...we never used the mfg "recommended" 2 part epoxy...Gorilla Glue setup up faster and was just as effective...you could also break the grip loose if you didn't over do it...;-)

In addition to our paddles, we also stock Ke Nalu...QB...Werner...etc...and, Starboard...which also has a complete system of blade and shaft interchangeability...

Speaking of "could have"...the option of having two different length shafts was there with the first 2-piece paddles Pohaku developed...we shipped lots of these to SUP pioneers overseas back in '06...Italy...Austria...New Zealand...Russia...Sweden...Germany...Switzerland...Australia...etc...
