Arvo Pickleball was born from an ad. Literally. Father and son, Allan and Miguel Domingo started playing pickleball late-2023 after being invited by a family friend. Later that day, Allan received an ad to customize his own paddle and being a serial entrepreneur himself, thought about selling a paddle with a pickle cartoon on it - the first Pickled paddle! That paddle sold out immediately... at pre-sale!

Miguel immediately saw an opportunity and thought that though the Pickled doesn't quite reflect his style, he realized that nothing in the market did. Everything was so... plain and the same. Everything was so IBM and he wanted something Apple. So he got on his laptop, designed some paddles, and that's when Arvo was born.
