We build paddles for canoe, kayak, kayak fishing, and stand-up paddling enthusiasts who value every minute they spend on the water.
Founded in 1982, by whitewater and touring canoeist, Dale Kicker, and flat-water racer, Ron Hultman, who revolutionized the paddle industry with newfound durability by creating the first composite tipped canoe paddle.
Since then, our handcrafted paddles at both Bending Branches and Aqua-Bound have propelled people to the places and experiences that people dream of. This spirit of adventure continues to drive us to enhance your paddling experience.
