Kahuna Creations
Shoreham land paddle
As part of this feature we got our hands on a variety of land paddling gear. Kahuna
Creations kit is premium quality with attention to detail in abundance. The Bombora is a
beast of a board and perfect for those who fancy cruising with the odd toes on the nose.
Kahuna’s drop deck Black Wave is a funky carving board that rips up the tarmac with ease,
while the Retrofish is close to traditional longboard performance and loves a bit of an
incline. Our pick of the boards, however, is the Shaka Surf, which carves like a dream, copes
with ramps and slides well – a nearly true reflection of stand up paddle surfing on land.
The paddles supplied were impressive and engineered with care; especially the bamboo
stick, which breathes and flexes as the rider whips it round moves. The adjustable alloy
Hacka paddle is great for multiple riders or those on a budget.
Kahuna’s trademark ‘blade’ (rubberised end) keeps in constant contact with the concrete
and rolls as you paddle, ensuring no slippage. All in all, a cracking bit of kit that all
paddlers would be stoked to own.
