Greenland Paddles

Most kayakers begin their journey with a wide-bladed Euro-style paddle. Greenland paddles offer a different experience from their Euro cousins — one refined over generations of Inuit paddlers who relied on efficiency, control, and endurance in cold, demanding conditions.

The long, narrow blades of a Greenland paddle offer less resistance per stroke, encouraging a smooth, relaxed cadence that many paddlers find less fatiguing over long distances. Rather than relying on brute force, Greenland paddles reward good technique, providing excellent responsiveness, quiet entry, and precise control.

Benefits of a handcrafted Greenland paddle include:

• Efficient, low-impact strokes that are easy on the shoulders and joints

• Exceptional control for touring, rough water, and maneuvering

• Outstanding performance for rolling and sculling

• A warm, natural feel that only wood can provide

Each paddle is custom sized to your body, kayak, and paddling style, resulting in a paddle that feels natural and balanced in your hands.

Storm Paddles

Storm paddles are compact Greenland-style paddles. Traditionally, they are carried as a spare or used in strong winds and rough seas. Shorter than a full-length paddle, they offer reliable propulsion while remaining easy to store on deck or within reach.

Despite their small size, Storm paddles are powerful, intuitive, and surprisingly capable. Many paddlers value them not only as a safety backup, but also as a specialized tool for high-wind paddling, tight conditions, and developing kayaking skills like rolling or the slide stroke.

Why paddlers choose Storm paddles:

• Compact size for easy deck storage

• Reliable performance in wind and rough water

• Excellent backup paddle option

Storm paddles are built with the same quality craftsmanship as full-length paddles, resulting in a paddle that feels natural and balanced in your hands.

Norsaq Rolling Paddles

The Norsaq is a traditional Greenland tool designed for adding power to harpoon throws while hunting, often misunderstood as merely a throwing stick. In reality, it is a highly effective training and rolling tool that teaches precise body mechanics, balance, and blade awareness. Many paddlers find that practicing with a Norsaq rolling paddle improves their rolling confidence and overall paddle control.

Each Norsaq can be handcrafted for your grip preferences, including left-handed, right-handed, or no finger grips at all. These paddles are suitable for both traditional practice and modern rolling instruction.

Decorative Paddles

Decorative paddles are a thoughtful way to honor the kayaker in your life — or to bring your own love of paddling indoors.

Inspired by functional Greenland designs, they're handcrafted as smaller-scale pieces or full-length display paddles. Each is designed to celebrate kayaking culture and traditional craftsmanship suitable for display in your home, office, cabin, boathouse, and more.

Whether hung on a wall, displayed above a doorway, or placed on a shelf or desk, a Decorative paddle adds a distinctive, meaningful touch of kayaking to any space.

Decorative paddles are:

• Available in small scale sizes suitable for small display areas like desks or shelves

• Crafted from solid or mixed woods for visual interest

• Ideal as gifts, commemorations, or personal keepsakes

Even full-length Greenland paddles, Storm paddles, and Norsaq paddles can be crafted to be displayed indoors with pride when not being used on kayaking adventures.
