Naish Makani Vario SUP Paddle Review

I was fortunate enough to be able to use the Naish Makani SUP paddle for a whole winter while in Hawaii. This is a higher end paddle and quite different from others I had previously used. Adjustable paddles are known to be a little heavier but this one was super lightweight and truly a pleasure […]
