Products of the Year Awards
The Paddle Sport Show once again delivered an impressive display of innovation, creativity, and design across the paddling industry!
The Product of the Year Awards, organized with KS Publishing (the team behind Kayak Session Mag, Paddle World Magazine and SUP World Magazine), aim to showcase the very best in paddlesports for the upcoming 2027 season.
Twelve trophies were presented during the industry party, celebrating excellence across every corner of the sport. From jury selections to the Dealer Buzz Award, chosen by professionals through online voting, competition was tight in every category. And this year, the new Kickstart Award was created for products that encourage new people to get into paddlesports.
