About Us...

[We love working with wood, and are a specialty shop.]

Each and every paddle we make is hand carved using tradional hand tools...no mass production.

Our paddles are made one at a time, so we can give each our fullest attention to craftmanship and tuning, as if they were our own.

We know that there are cheaper ways to produce paddles, but we also know that there are no shortcuts to perfection.

Our Master Carver,  Jill Ellis, is a world class woodcarver with over 45 years of experience.

We are Veterans.

[Using my 20 yr old paddle...a few scars, but I love it!]

[I carve each paddle as if it were my own!]

Adanac Paddles are now in paddlers hands in 38 countries....Switzerland is the latest!
