What is FSC?

FSC stands for the Forest Stewardship Council, an international non-profit organization that promotes responsible forest management. FSC certification ensures that the wood we use comes from forests that meet the highest standards of environmental, social, and economic responsibility.

  • FSC helps protect wildlife, ecosystems, and the rights of Indigenous communities.

  • Sacred Indigenous sites within certified forests are protected and exempt from felling.

  • FSC certification guarantees that forests are managed sustainably, so future generations can continue to benefit from them.

By choosing FSC-certified products, you're helping preserve forests and support the people and wildlife who depend on them.

Paddle Finishes

All of our paddles are finished with a protective varnish and available in two finish options:

Matte Finish

  • Usage: Decorative use only

  • Ideal for interior display

Water-Ready (High Gloss) Polyurethane Finish (currently unavailable)

  • Usage: Suitable for light paddling and deep-water touring around the lake

  • Not recommended for rugged, backcountry canoe tripping

  • Varnish provides increased durability and weather resistance

Care Tips for Your Water-Ready Paddle

To keep your water-ready paddle in top condition and extend its life, follow these simple care tips:

  • Minimize impact: Avoid banging your paddle against gunwales or hard surfaces.

  • No rock guards: Our blades do not include rock guards. Please do not use the blade to push off rocks, docks, or shorelines—use the grip end instead.

  • Dry after use: Wipe your paddle down after each use to prevent wear and tear.

  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure: While the finish includes UV protection, store your paddle out of direct sunlight when not in use. Hanging it up is always a good option.
