The Paddle Sport Show

Save the date: the Paddle Sports Show Film Festival is on Friday, October 2nd! 🍿

In previous years, the festival was held the evening before the show opened. By moving the event to Friday, we hope to welcome a broader audience while creating the perfect way to end a day at the show, which is now open to the public that day. Spend some time discovering the latest products and meeting brands, athletes, and industry leaders before settling in for an evening showcasing some of the year's best paddlesports films.

We are devastated by the news of the flash flood in the Trishuli River Valley and the immense loss and destruction it has caused.

2026 Sustainability Award: Palm Equipment - Seawastex®

“Seawastex® is the first post-consumer recycled fabric we’ve trusted enough to build our premium outerwear from. Recycled, but never second best."

Among the highlights of last year's The Paddle Sport Show was the 2026 Product of the Year Awards, organized in partnership with KS Publishing and the Paddlerguide.com. Each year, the contest spotlights the best new paddlesports gear for the upcoming season. The 2026 Sustainability Award was presented to Palm Equipment for their new Seawastex® gear line.

To understand more about this new material made from recycled fishing nets, we asked the team a few questions about how it works and how it came to life. Check out our ITV 👉 https://thepaddlesportshow.com/palm-equipment-seawastex-2026-product-of-the-year-sustainability-award/
