Why Azul??
by joining forces with the much larger, technologically advanced Riot Kayak, several advantages accrue, including faster production turnaround for special orders, stronder and lighter construction, greater range of options, plus... great new names! The paradigm will now be the CALYPSO, and its brother for the larger paddler will be the SULTAN

... the creation of PARADIGM by WPK pushed the standards of sea kayaks to a new level, offering a combination of performance, handling, quality construction, and fanatical attention to detail unmatched in the industry. |
|
|
... PARADIGM is very fast and efficient - it cruises and accelerates with ease, is comfortably stable but incredibly responsive, and PARADIGM is effortlessly manageable, controllable, and correctable. This kayak simply moves through the water in unison with your body and thought. |
|
|
... PARADIGM's performance is in part a result of its innovative construction a cored composite that gives it an extremely stiff, strong, and rugged layup at an ideal weight for a sea kayak |
