Zhik Expands into Paddling

Zhik Expands into Paddling – We’ve Got the Gear at BoatCrewGear.com

Zhik, known for its cutting edge sailing apparel, has officially entered the paddling market with a purpose built range of gear designed for ocean ski, SUP, outrigger and kayak athletes. At BoatCrewGear.com, we’re excited to stock this new range, developed in collaboration with elite paddlers and built to perform in real world Australian conditions.

Designed with Athletes, Built for Performance

Zhik’s paddle gear has been engineered from the ground up, not repurposed from existing lines. The collection was developed alongside the Paddle Australia Olympic Team and Canoe Racing New Zealand, with input and testing from Olympic medalists including Naomi and Jess Fox.

Each piece in the range offers lightweight performance, quick drying materials, sun protection, and unrestricted movement. Exactly what paddlers need whether training, racing or exploring.

The Range Includes

Performance Paddle Shorts
Lightweight and fast-drying with 4-way stretch and ventilation. Designed for high output sessions in warm conditions.

Performance Padded Paddle Shorts
Everything you love about the regular paddle shorts, with the addition of a thin, ventilated neoprene seat pad for extra comfort over long sessions.

Eco Spandex LT Tops (Long and Short Sleeve)
Super-soft, breathable baselayers made from recycled fabric with UPF 50+ sun protection. Designed to keep you cool and protected in the sun.

The entire range is built using eco-conscious materials as part of Zhik’s ongoing sustainability mission — so you get high performance gear with a lower environmental impact.

Backed by Real Partnerships

Zhik’s paddling range launch is supported by long-term partnerships across the sport, including a multi-year sponsorship of Paddle Queensland through to 2028. The brand is now highly visible at events such as the Zhik 14 Beaches Ocean Race and other major paddlesport competitions across Australia.
