World Class Paddles. Made in America.

A 40-year testament to wood, willpower, and Wisconsin. As the world's largest manufacturer of quality canoe and kayak paddles, we remain a privately held company in Northwestern Wisconsin, staffed by paddling enthusiasts. This translates into countless hours spent designing, prototyping, testing, and perfecting each of our paddles. And when that's done, we go back and look at ways to build them even better. Lighter, stiffer, smarter, more durable, and more beautiful. Our customers have found our paddles to be their long-term companions on all adventures.

"I've seen the light." I bit the bullet and I'm so glad I did. My new paddle feels good, the Versa-Lok is very secure, and it feels so much easier to paddle now. 10/10, would buy again.
