Echo Paddles Quest
I'm Andy Convery, the face behind Echo Paddles. I am father to three young boys and partner to Jess. We're a paddling family and Echo is a family business driven by my passion for being outdoors, sculpting, teaching, paddling and working with my hands. After a career as a professional sculptor, I started working on the river guiding wilderness trips in 1991. What makes EchoPaddles so unique is that I have been an avid canoe tripper, play boater and slalom racer for many years alongside my art making and woodworking. I am constantly refining what makes a great design so that everyone who uses an Echo can have an amazing experience on the water.
Overview
Highlights
- Great all round paddle

What Users Are Saying
I have put my Echos through the wringer while guiding northern river expeditions and they are the toughest, best performing paddles I have ever used. I call mine "Excalibur" as it has been my faithful paddle that gives me confidence when it's in my hands to handle anything the river throws at me.
