Bending Branches

In 1982, whitewater and touring canoeist Dale Kicker and flat-water racer Ron Hultman teamed up to create the first composite tipped canoe paddle. This unique innovation revolutionized the paddle industry and gave birth to Bending Branches. Since that birth, paddles from this Wisconsin company have propelled people to the places and experiences that people dream of. This spirit of adventure continues to drive Bending Branches to enhance your paddling experience.

Grey Owl Paddles

Grey Owl Paddles has been making a variety of handmade paddles since 1976, beginning with traditional style canoe paddles, then expanding to recreational, bent shaft and kayak. They’ve also expanded into racing paddles for dragon boats and outriggers. We believe they make a very high quality product at an excellent price.

Our Grey Owl collection is focused on their more traditional paddles - there’s literally thousands of years of evolution behind these designs.
