Gerry Lopez plays Kialoa

What in the world is Gerry playing? A crazy long banjo? Why no, that would be KIALOA's Kole, our full carbon surf paddle.

Gerry Lopez not only shares our beautiful locale in Central Oregon but also our passion for excellence. He has given us the honor of a wonderful testimonial for our product and gives us valuable and honest feedback regarding our surf paddles.

Thanks Gerry! See ya on the Deschutes!

Miami2Maine

Margo Pellegrino is doing a paddle from Miami to Maine to raise awareness of ocean and coastal quality issues, in the hopes that she can make a difference in the world and inspire others to take an active role in the stewardship of the oceans.

KIALOA is proud to sponsor Margo with a paddle to support her in her amazing journey.

If you kayak, row or paddle, it'd be a great time to get back in the water. She encourages others to paddle along with her and she has a lot of paddling company on the water for many segments.

This Tuesday, June 19, she will be speaking to the Members of Congress on the Ocean Caucus at Capital Hill. The hearing actually started out as an invitation to discuss her journey and observations with a small group of Congressmen, but the interest was so great, that it is now a full hearing.

Check out her Miami2Maine website for frequent updates about her progress.

Go Margo!

Thanks Dave Norona who featured our Nalu in his article for Westcoast Outdoors promoting stand up paddling. This great sport is making it's way into Canada fast.

There was another great article by Dave in North Shore News.
