I purchased a Ke Nalu paddle from a dealer named Dean Elcoat, who is located in Merimbula, earlier this year. Found him helpful and easy to deal with. Email contact is info@kenalu.com.au
Plenty of good paddling options in that region as well.
Great paddles,but like all products,can have quality control issues,with average back up at best .
Interesting. between my wife and I we have had a total of four Ke Nalu paddles and never had a problem with quality control or damage.
Sold one because the shaft was too stiff for my dodgy back but we still have the other three. They've been going strong now for the last 8 years with no sign of getting tired.
