The Black Opal is more than a paddle. It's a story of courage and heart. We have added “Max Power” to the paddle in honor of Max Clayton Robinson, a bright and fearless young boy whose laughter, resilience, and boundless spirit touched everyone around him. Like the opal itself, forged under immense pressure into something rare and beautiful, Max’s life reminds us of the beauty and resilience found in the hardest of battles. To carry his legacy forward, a portion of every Black Opal paddle purchase is donated to Clown Doctors, bringing joy and support to children and families facing cancer, just as Max inspired joy in all who knew him.
