Some people  prefer to make their own paddle.  Small class sizes provide lots of individual attention and the ability to carve your very own paddle in one day.  We use the finest of hand tools, provided by Wood River and Lee Valley Tools.  We source clear, straight grained Western Red Cedar for most classes.  Everything you need to go home with a beautiful finished Greenland paddle is included.

It has been an honor to have been invited to teach classes in Japan, Argentina, Canada, and throughout the United States.   If you would like to hold a class in your area, please contact us.

2024:  Its a busy spring for classes!  We have had one with the Mountaineers in Seattle in January, with another in April.  Then the WAKE club in Bellingham had a class in February.  In May we go to Florida for a QajaqUSA event and then NY to the Inwood Canoe Club.  And then August is shaping up with the new owners of Columbia River Kayaking.  If your club is interested in hosting a paddle carving class, contact us for arrangements.
