Newave A Newave is here for those who love the surf. Tons of instant, variable-for-each-situation acceleration, precision rudder strokes + Flat top like braces with positive roll support. We did not set out to copy or imitate some ancient design, this paddle emerged from our design imaginations and evolved from some fanatical, on-the-water R&D. We have spent alot of time on the Newave. A paddle this big is not supposed to be so smooth. Constant curving surfaces and a unique ( cannot see in photo ) edge treatment help control high speed planing braces and leans with way less worry of stuffing the edge.
While i for one try to avoid 'trendy' words, i still cannot help but think "Tribal" upon studying this paddle. I think the early Pacific Islanders were onto something as this shape did not come about by chance. Just like the present. O ld N ew N ew O ld defined.
