FOUNDER

IVY SUN

In the urban landscape of New York City, a woman discovered connection and community through the transformative power of Pickleball. It quickly became more than just a game for founder Ivy Sun, providing respite during a challenging phase of her life.

The Birth of Helios Pickleball

A Modern Spin on Timeless Connection

For a brand whose founding seemed written in the stars, Helios turned to the ancient Greeks as inspiration. Historic icons of aesthetics and athleticism, their significance can be attributed to their ability to harness grace and strength- two pillars of the Helios vision. Helios paddles embody this same fusion of elegance and high performance. 

The brand name is a nod to Helios, the Greek sun god, embodying power, life force and luminance. The launch collection, The Energy Series, uses the namesakes of other Greek gods to communicate each paddle’s individual strength. Helios Pickleball goes beyond equipment; it aims to bring the timeless connection fostered by athleticism to the modern court.

Helios Pickleball is not just about equipment; it's about invoking the spirit of Greek champions on the modern court. With every swing, players harness the legacy of a culture that understood the profound beauty in the harmonious marriage of form and high-function.
