Hey Calgary crew,
I came across an online posting from Kailani Outdoors recently that confirmed what a few of us had been noticing. It looks like they’ve officially discontinued their Kailani paddle board lineup. No new SUPs are coming back. They’re now fully focused on wakeboards, insulated coolers (the SHAKA series), drink-ware, and that whole adventure-lifestyle apparel collection.
Honestly, we think it’s a really smart pivot.
Big respect to the Kailani team for evolving the business and keeping everything local. Not every company can make a clean shift like this and stay relevant, and they’re pulling it off right here in our community. If you’re in the market for a tough cooler, some fresh drink-ware, wakeboards, or apparel for your next outing, head over to kailanioutdoors.com or follow them on Instagram (@kailanioutdoors). They’re still 100% Calgary-based and definitely worth supporting.
For those of us still chasing paddle time, no worries. We are still keeping the paddling / floating community alive here. We offer paddle boards to buy, or rent here in Calgary.
Shoutout to Kailani for the great paddle boards back in the day and for crushing it now in wakeboards, coolers, drinkware, and apparel. Keep exploring, keep supporting local, and here’s to an epic Alberta summer.
Happy paddling (and cold drinks),
