In 1991 Dave Chun began building paddles on his parent’s lanai in Kailua, Hawaii. Driven by the need for performance equipment and the desire to “build the best paddles in the world,” Dave began blending Hawaiian craftsmanship with modern technology and produced beautiful handcrafted wooden paddles. As the demand for lighter equipment arose, Dave responded by developing Hybrid Outrigger Paddles – a paddle that consists of a wood shaft and a wood core with a molded composite blade. Considered radical at their inception, Hybrids are now the standard outrigger paddle in Hawaiian outrigger racing.
