After paddling 1,400 miles (with about another 1,000 to go) you quickly realize how important it is to have a paddle that’s both super durable AND super lightweight. Bonus if it’s absolutely GORGEOUS. How wonderful that Glørud Design paddles are 3-for-3: light as a feather, strong enough to handle endless miles of rocks and rip rap, and stunningly beautiful. Thank you SO much to our friend Josh at Glørud who supported our mission and messages by generously supplying us with two perfect paddles, made by hand right in my hometown of Duluth, Minnesota. I immediately felt the difference a lightweight bent shaft made compared to the heavier straight shaft paddle I had been using. My joints and muscles thank you! 🛶
