Here's a couple of pics of the new 'cheaper' Kialoa paddles.
"The 3 new SUP paddles are part of our new line called the "Ikaika Series". The blades are constructed with a material call Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermo Plastic (CFRT). This material is light, durable, and less expensive than carbon/fiberglass and epoxy.".. Dave Chun.
