Shaka Pu’u

Mel Puu embodies the spirit of the waterman. A longtime lifeguard at Makaha, Mel is a force to be reckoned with, whether he’s tandem surfing, outrigger surfing, or getting tubed with a stand-up surf paddle in hand. He’s also been known to give away surf boards and other contest prizes to competitors he felt were more deserving – it’s all about having fun on the water for Mel. We’re proud to name our new state-of-the-craft stand up surf paddle after him. A portion of Shaka Pu’u sales are donated to the cause of choice for Mel and his wife Momi, the Makaha Junior Lifeguard Scholarship Program.

The Shaka Pu’u blade profile is our smallest paddle and allows for quick acceleration through the water without pulling the surfer off balance. Ideal for catching waves and keeping yourself in the surf.
