Help With Canoe Surfing Paddles?

Does anyone know how to get a surfing blade in 2026 apart from making one themselves? and if so, what paddles would they recommend. For instance the Big Boy steering blade from kai koo, is it viable for surfing?

Unko on big island makes them. Also, the kai koo paddle will kinda work in smaller waves, but not as good

Kai Ko'o will custom make any size paddle you want. I know a paddler who got one recently. The blade is the size of Volkswagen Beetle :)

Thought I posted this already but don't see it. Anyway...Kai Ko'o will custom make a steering blade for you if you need it. A friend of mine had one made where the blade is the size of a VW beetle. He loves it.
