Biographical Info

After more than 50 years on the water and having tested a myriad of paddle shapes and materials, I strongly believe that the longer, narrower one-piece wooden blades not only provides a similar cruising speed as the currently favored wider, shorter blades, but are more versatile, less stressful on the body and provide a better feel for the water. It is these qualities, as well as the unrivaled beauty of traditional wooden paddles that has given me a passion for this style and for sharing it with other paddlers both in sales, paddle-making classes and canoeing skills classes.
