SKILD is pushing boundaries in 2026, working tirelessly to expand our lineup with cutting-edge designs and game-changing products that elevate your paddling experience. We're not just adding items to our catalog—we're reimagining what performance apparel can do for water sports athletes.
Leading our 2026 product launch are premium sports leggings, engineered specifically for the demands of paddling. Crafted from the finest, most durable fabrics sourced from the world's leading producer of water sports materials, these leggings represent the same commitment to quality and performance that defines every SKILD product. Designed to withstand the rigors of salt water, sun exposure, and constant movement, they'll deliver the UV protection, moisture-wicking, and anti-chafe performance you've come to expect from SKILD—now with full-leg coverage for extended sessions on the water.
But we're not creating these products in isolation. SKILD believes in community-driven design, and we want YOU to be part of the process. We're inviting our paddling ohana to vote on the colorways you want to see manufactured. Your input shapes our direction—because you know what works on the water, what looks great, and what you'll actually wear race after race, training session after training session.
Beyond leggings, we're developing exciting new shirt designs that blend bold aesthetics with technical innovation. Stay tuned to our website and Instagram for sneak peeks, pre-sale opportunities, and exclusive event releases throughout 2026.
SKILD isn't just selling apparel—we're building gear designed by paddlers, for paddlers. Join us in shaping the future of water sports performance wear at www.skildwear.com.

From August 17-31, 2026, the world's elite va'a paddlers will descend upon Singapore's iconic Marina Bay for the International Va'a Federation World Sprint Championships. Against the stunning backdrop of Singapore's modern skyline, this premier sprint racing event brings together the fastest paddlers from across the globe to compete in intense, explosive races that test pure speed, technique, and tactical prowess. From V1 solo sprints to synchronized team boats V6 and V12, Marina Bay will transform into the ultimate proving ground for va'a sprint excellence.
Sprint racing demands different preparation than marathon paddling—here, every stroke counts as athletes push maximum power over shorter distances. The tropical heat and humidity of Singapore add another dimension to the challenge, making proper gear selection crucial for peak performance.
SKILD is thrilled to return to the IVF World Championships for the second time, following our debut at the Sprint Championships in Hilo, Hawaii, and our presence at the Long Distance Championships in Niterói, Brazil. This time, SKILD comes home to Singapore—welcome to our turf! Visit us at our booth at the Marina Bay event site (exact location to be announced here and on Instagram). We're bringing exciting new designs alongside your known favorites, with special pre-sale opportunities and exclusive event shirts available.

SKILD performance shirts deliver the UV protection essential for tropical conditions, advanced moisture-wicking to handle Singapore's humidity, temperature-regulating technology to keep you cool, and anti-chafe construction that ensures comfort through every explosive sprint. Whether you're racing for gold or cheering from the shore, SKILD has you covered.
