Ergonomic Performance | Timeless Design

A custom Greenland paddle shop based in the North American heartland of inland seas.

The paddle is awesome. I know the physics but was still surprised that I could go so fast with such smooth and effortless strokes. The proper adjective for this paddle is “elegant”. I know I'll be a better paddler when I pick up my Europaddle and hit moving water.

Hey! My name’s Ben Fontenot and I’ve been making and shaping Greenland paddles since 2012. These beautifully simplistic paddles have helped shape my skills and experiences beyond what I could even imagine. So it's easy to say that if you're interested in broadening your own experiences on the water, try using a wood Greenland style paddle.
