Kalo, or taro, as it is known in Hawaii, has been a staple food in the Hawaiian diet from earliest times to the present. The Kalo plant is not only utilitarian (all parts of the plant are eaten), but also embodies the Hawaiian value of ohana - a word that is drived from "oha", the offshoot from a parent taro plant. We chose to name this paddle Kalo because we believe it to be the staple in our wood paddle line. Like the plant that it is named after, this paddle is utilitarian and was designed to be used by all members of a paddling family. Handsome, strong and affordable, the Kalo is a terrific club paddle, kid's paddle, or beginner's paddle. The Kalo will teach you the ropes and never fail in performance. With a variety of attractive woods, reinforced fiberglass and Dynel edgebanding, the Kalo is truly a staple of the paddling life.
