Buy the full set of three now for just $439.00 out the door and receive shipping to most North American locations for just $25.00

 The ultimate gift for the Greenland paddling enthusiast!

Rolling Sticks are now available!

Rolling Sticks, similar to Norsaqs but without the actual harpoon launching attachments and features,  are now available for sale. Email me for specs and/ or custom orders. Prices are from $49.00 and up. Built of laminated western red cedar (nd sometimes some pine or eastern white cedar mixed in as well) and finished with either varnish or tung oil.  Fiberglass wrap also available. These have been selling like hot cakes throughout North America!

A full carbon fiber version is also in the works. 

 2 Piece, take-a-part Greenland Paddles:

Advance photo of a 2 Piece Greenland Paddle. The one below is still an unfinished paddle. The ferrule will epoxied onto the two halves tonight. Reinforcing carbon/ epoxy will be added to the joint near the start of the blades and the paddle will be epoxied tip to tip. More photos coming over the next few days. Pricing will be somewheres around $350 to $375 on these paddles. 

I build my Greenland Paddles mainly from western red cedar along with other select softwoods.  Paddles are built in both "Shouldered" and "Non Shouldered" styles as well as Storm Paddles.

In the photo below, the paddle on the left is shouldered and the one on the right is non shouldered, having a more gradual transition from loom to blade. The Shouldered paddles on the other hand will have an obvious "Shoulder" where the blade starts to widen out.  

  Prices for either style are currently set at $275 per paddle. Available options are your choice of varnish or tung oil for the finish. You may also have a fiberglass & epoxy wrap on the blade tips for an extra charge.

2 piece take apart paddles will soon be available as well and the price will be set shortly. These paddles will have a 2 part carbon fiber ferrule along the loom. Photos and pricing coming soon! Email me to order one up.

  Storm Paddles are also available now for $225 out the door. Contact me directly for sizing information.
