Superior working in the construction of the standup paddles got in touch with the world of Polynesian canoe.
 It was  started  a collaboration with  Giovanni De Francesco  and with  him it was  developed a line of outrigger paddles .
  Some models are already in production, one of these will be used by Giovanni  in the next "Steinlager Kaiwa channel Solo OC1 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2011"
