A tribute to the atua who governs the tides, currents, and depths of the ocean.
Connect to the power, rhythm, and heartbeat of the moana with our new Tangaroa – Atua o te Moana paddle design.
This limited-edition artwork pays homage to Tangaroa, the revered Māori atua of the sea, whose influence guides all life within the waters of Aotearoa and beyond. His presence on the blade represents strength, guardianship, and the deep relationship between paddlers, their waka, and the ocean they move through.
Design Story
The artwork depicts Tangaroa emerging from the depths, surrounded by shifting currents and ocean energy. His stance, adorned with traditional patterns and flowing forms, symbolises mana, movement, and kaitiakitanga, the responsibility to honour and protect the moana.
Available in Full Carbon only
Tangaroa Paddle - Hiku
Blade DesignThe Hiku introduces a rounded blade profile with its broadest point set higher on the face, softening the initial catch while maintaining strong water engagement. Reinforced carbon edging enhances durability for regular training and racing. This model is exclusively paired with our lightweight full composite shaft, optimised for a smooth, responsive flex.
