Hi guys,
I snapped my Kialoa Shaka pu. I was paddling for a wave and snap....no resistance so I went tumbling forward into the water. Probably pretty funny to see but I'm gutted that its snapped. Does anyone know where/if I can get it fixed? is there any warranty on these things? I cant find the receipt from when I bought it actually so warranty is probably out of the question.
Cheers

Bummer.. .. You can buy and fit a new shaft if it's not covered by warranty.

I think the smaller blades that most of us are using (Methane and Pipes) puts less load on the shaft and lessens the chance of it ever breaking.. I wonder.

Get your local Kialoa dealer to check with Kialoa about it.. If you need help on fiting a new shaft I did one for a friend once so I've been through it.. It's not hard.

Yeah cheers guys, I called Sam from kialoa and I'm getting a new shaft. DJ, I might need a few tips if I get stuck on it next week. This one was about a year old, its the second one I've managed to snap so I may have to go a bit easier on them.
