Wika Pickleball Teases Sunwave Special Edition Specially Made for This Country
Wika Pickleball is set to launch the Wika Sunwave Special Edition paddle on 16 November 2026.
This paddle is, indeed, special as it is made specifically to honour one pickleball-crazy country in particular: the Philippines. The Vietnam-based brand first teased the paddle on 3 November on social media with a graphic of four coloured bands—blue, red, white, and yellow—with the caption, “Four colours. One spirit. A new Wika release is starting to take shape…”
Blue, red, white, and yellow are, of course, the colours of the Philippine flag, and the Philippines, in turn, is one of the countries where pickleball is enjoying a meteoric and continued rise. It’s only fitting, then, that Wika Pickleball honours Filipinos with this special paddle—and taps into the big market it brings.
The company further teased the exclusive release on 6 November, writing on social media that the “spirit of the Philippines is making its way onto the pickleball court” and emphasising that the Sunwave Special Edition paddles are meant to honour the Philippines’ pickleball community.
“A heartfelt tribute to the Philippine pickleball community—to everyone who has supported Wika, stood by us, and shared their passion for the sport,” Wika Pickleball further wrote. “The colours, symbols, and stories that represent the Philippines will soon come to life through the WIKA SUNWAVE SPECIAL EDITION.”
Specs for the Wika Sunwave Special Edition paddle are unknown as of this posting. However, if previous Wika Pickleball paddles are to be used as a basis, the exclusive ones could have specs similar to the following: 16 mm full-foam or honeycomb cores, textured carbon fibre faces, and 140 mm handles.
The wait, though, will soon be over. In a couple of days, the Wika Sunwave Special Edition paddle will officially launch.
