Steve Sikkema has been a serious paddler for over 30 years. His woodworking career spans 40 years in wood carving and high-end trim work. A few years ago he realized that he could build a more satisfying paddle than he could buy.

Steve started to develop, prototype and build paddles which were then tested in the Boundary Waters, Lake Michigan and the rivers of northern Michigan. These paddles are the result of his combined passions of woodworking and paddling.
