Over the last 5 years, the paddles I produce are evolving back in time to something much more in line with the traditional or authentic. I started with the designs commonly found online and in many galleries. A three piece paddle, bookmatch blades and laminated. They are beautiful but, in my opinion, lack in that authentic feel. I now make many of my paddles with one piece of Koa. Hand made, tool marks, stone rubbed and finished with coconut oil. Defects or cracks are addressed with bowties.
They are celebrations of the functional paddles from days past.
Each paddle represents 20-30 hours of love.

Very close attention is given to each beautiful koa paddle I make. I build them to last a lifetime.
