About Us
Born in 2011, WaveDesign is a company specialized in the design and production of carbon-fiber paddles.
The workshop is located in Southern Rome. Extending on 400 sqm, it features an on-site design office, a large production department with a professional CNC machine, a clean room, suction benches, an autoclave (6m), a storage area for raw materials, and a cold storage.
Here we manage the entire design and production process: the making of models and molds, cutting, lamination, finishing, gluing, varnishing, and assembling.
We offer a vast array of solutions, for both kayaks and for surfski and SUP: a large choice of wing paddles for kayak for races or for leisure, for both flat water racing and for sea racing; an ample selection for touring kayaks; a selection for both competitive and recreational SUP.
Our paddles are light, high-performing, and reliable.
This is due to our own blade production technique that doesn’t use glues or foams.
WaveDesign paddles are 100% prepreg carbon fiber cured in our autoclave on a controlled cycle at high temperature and high pressure.
This technique allows, thru an accurate choice of lamination layers, to optimize the reliability of the paddle.
