We love our local waves. ❤️

Throwback to Larry Chomyn catching waves at Skookumchuck Narrows. The Reflection really shines in conditions like this—responsive, reliable, and always up for a challenge. If dynamic water is your thing, a Sterling’s worth a look.

Entirely handmade on Quadra Island; a world famous kayaking destination, we are one of the few paddle makers who handcrafts every single part of every paddle in house, from their raw materials. We are a proud Product of Canada, and display that pride on every paddle.

100% independently owned and operated in Canada, we are not owned or associated with any multi-brand  conglomerate or distributor. We focus on paddles, not profits, and quality over quantity.

Nimbus Paddles have been handmade in British Columbia, Canada for over 50 years. Since the early 1970s, we have been striving to make refined, well balanced, lightweight, and high performance kayak paddles, for paddlers of all types, and all conditions.

This week just keeps getting better and better! Today, I was out at Surge Narrows, surfing a great standing wave in long boats alongside .bae. Seriously, how can you not have an amazing time when the sun is shining, the waves are rolling, and we’re splashing around like kids? We had an absolute blast, even if it meant I had to hit the road at 4:30 AM—yep, before the sun had even decided to join the party! Totally worth it for a day full of fun, laughter, and a whole lot of sunshine!

Like a party wave, without the wave. Still a party.

From start to finish, this guy does it all. Rob takes your custom paddle order and hand makes each one in his shop (shack) on Quadra Island, BC.
Since everything is made 100% in small batch, we don’t rely on outsourcing, that means your paddle is made to order- designed just for you!
