The Inspiration Behind the Quick-release Paddle Holder: The idea for the Quick-release Paddle Holder was born out of a keen observation of how paddlers were securing their spare paddles to the back Iakos of OC1’s. The prevalent use of bungee ropes and tapes often resulted in a shaky attachment, scratches, and unnecessary time consumption. Recognizing the need for a simpler and more effective solution, the journey towards developing the Quick-release Paddle Holder commenced.

Five iterations later, utilizing state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, Nalu Canoes successfully fine-tuned the design. The result? A sleek and efficient paddle holder that streamlines the process of securing a spare paddle to the canoe’s Iakos.
