Experience!
One unique benefit to buying a RivrStyk is that you get my expert judgement in the wood selection and assembly and shaping of your paddle. I’ve been making paddles for well over thirty years and apprenticed master paddle builder Keith Backlund in 1975.
Wood Selection!
I don’t just buy your wood from the local hardware store. I shop for select Northern White Ash with Keith Backlund in the winter of almost every year and process the rough cut lumber which will find it’s way to my shop in years to come. It’s a long process but we harvest and air dry select filets of the finest ash on the planet. We compete with bat manufacturers and veneer buyers for this top shelf ash and Keith supervises how each log is to be cut.
Street Tough!
RivrStyx tips and edgings are the toughest on the market. They’re THICK. They’ve got some stuff to them and because they are built with epoxy- they bond tightly to the bladewoods. That means you can go longer before refurbishing the paddle and making it like new again.
Heavy Duty Finish!
The finish on a RivrStyk is second to none. There are many base coats of epoxy for the river to chew on. The proof is in the pudding and RivrStyx are known to last decades. This means you can go until it’s pretty scuffed up looking before you need a refinishing.
Ergonomics!
My shapes are designed to be kind. If you’re in it for the long haul and want optimal performance like rodeo superstar Dustin Urban does~ RivrStyx deliver. Be good to yourself!
It’s ALL About YOU!
And they are custom! They are all about you and your mission. The look, the feel, the size, the feather~ a RivrStyk could be your dream paddle made special for you. If you want to see what it takes to order one check here.
