The 11’0 Navio VFT

A hybrid SUP that Redefines Touring and Versatility

The Navio VFT Paddle Board represents Pau Hana’s legacy of pioneering innovation in the paddleboarding industry. Designed by Todd Caranto, a visionary who has been shaping the SUP world since 2007, the Navio’s keel hull design builds on the groundbreaking concept first introduced in the EZ Rider. Launched in 2008, the EZ Rider was the first of its kind, featuring a double concave keel hull—a forward-thinking design that was truly ahead of its time. While the market wasn’t ready to fully embrace the concept in 2008, its brilliance became widely recognized in 2016 when the design was refined and reintroduced with the Navio. Today, the keel hull’s innovation and utility are celebrated, making the Navio a standout for paddlers seeking stability, glide efficiency, and versatility in one extraordinary board.
