"on a remote beach, these new blades are 40 miles into a 160 mile journey I finished in 5 days,
I wouldn't dream of paddling with anything else."
As with anything designed to flow through water little changes make a big difference. Fit is everything. A greenland paddle can be magic in the water if it fits right, if not, you'll look down and ask "why are these skinny sticks so popular?". I am obsessed with sizing and work very hard to match the paddle to the paddler. Performance, fit, and durability, these are the things I care about. Fancy laminations, carbon fiber, fiberglass sheathing are all things you can get from some other paddle maker. These aren't wall pieces but rather the same paddles that I use on my own kayaks in surf and sea cliffs where equipment failure is not an option. I will add mortised HDPE tips for an extra $50 but beyond that, what you see is what you get, and what you get is this guarantee- If you don't like your paddle send it back for a full refund within 2 months of purchase. To order a paddle call me 503 320 2168 and we'll discuss sizing, wood choices, and the right blade for you.
In the last few years the Greenland paddle has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, and for good reason; the Greenland paddle is a remarkable kayaking tool. Shaped and sized to the paddler. Its slender profile catches less wind making it safer in stormy weather. A lighter more controlled grip on the water means less danger of shoulder injuries that are too common in sport kayaking today. A wider shaft eliminates the tendency to death grip the shaft that results in aching fingers and tendonitis. Designed to be extended it provides a variable range of extension in forward, bracing, and recovery strokes. Its natural buoyancy and in line blades provide common sense indexing that allows for easier orientation underwater, making sculling to the surface and rolling up much easier. In fact there are many techniques that can only be performed with a Greenland paddle. Lightweight. Hand crafted.
Available in a variety of woods and finishes.
