  Co-Founder

  We're just a couple paddlers, passionate about promoting padding.It doesn't matter if it's your family's first time afloat on a paddleboard, you're a beardy multi day canoe tripper or you're hucking 20 meter drops with the lads, we're with you!We started paddling together in 2013, when Moose finally saw the light and moved to Scotland. The bromance flourished and, to the dismay of our partners, most of our days off were spent together. Together we have paddled and swam on countless lochs and rivers in Scotland. We have guided trips together, explored new regions and shared our favourite paddling spots with anyone who will come with us. Abroad, we have paddled on the Soca together as part of a European adventure and the Noguera Pallaresa after an epic journey from Aviemore to Spain. If it floats, we'd love to paddle it.#paddlemore Voir moins
