The Navio is designed for paddlers who want to move efficiently and stay on line. Its defining feature is the integrated keel hull, which helps the board track straight with less effort - making longer paddles, windy days, and fishing sessions feel calmer and more controlled.
Built with Pau Hana’s Bamboo Sandwich construction, the Navio offers a lighter, more responsive ride than its VFT counterpart while still delivering the strength needed for touring and gear-supported paddling. It’s a great fit for paddlers who value glide, direction, and a board that feels alive underfoot without feeling twitchy.

At Pau Hana Surf Supply, quality and sustainability is integral to our mission. We design our paddleboards for durability, ensuring they withstand the test of time and reduce environmental impact.
-
After your session, give the board a quick rinse with fresh water and let it dry before storing - especially if you’ve been in saltwater.
Store your board in a cool, shaded place, out of direct sunlight. If possible, keep it flat or on its side using proper board racks.
A little care goes a long way - treat it well and your board will stay solid, smooth, and ready for the next paddle.
-
Built around a lightweight EPS core and sealed with epoxy resin, this construction keeps the board strong without adding unnecessary weight. Strategic bamboo reinforcement is added in high-load areas to increase stiffness and durability where it matters most, while our high-density Corebrace™ system supports all installed components for long-term reliability.
A self-regulating Goretex vent plug helps manage internal pressure as temperatures and conditions change, keeping the board performing consistently whether you’re paddling cool mornings or warm afternoons.

Bombproof Construction
Built using Pau Hana’s Bamboo Sandwich construction, the Oahu blends natural strength with everyday durability. A real bamboo veneer is layered into the board’s structure, adding stiffness, impact resistance, and a smooth, responsive feel on the water.
This construction helps the board hold its shape under pressure while keeping the ride lively and predictable. It’s tough enough for regular launches, beach landings, and day-to-day paddling, without feeling overbuilt or heavy. It’s made to be used - not babied - so you can focus on the water, not the board.
- Strong, resilient construction that handles everyday bumps and knocks
- Long-term durability for regular use in lakes, rivers, and coastal water
- Consistent performance that holds its feel season after season
Crafted in California
The Navio was designed for paddlers who care about efficiency and flow. The keel hull helps the board stay on track, while the bamboo construction keeps the ride feeling light and responsive.
It’s meant for longer routes, focused paddling, and days when you want the board to quietly do its job while you enjoy the water.
“The Navio is about staying relaxed and moving forward. It’s designed to track clean, feel natural, and support long, comfortable days on the water.”
— Todd Caranto, Pau Hana Founder
