I love this time of year because I get to repost this photo. And we all know that paddles are hard to wrap and hide under the tree…so gift cards are available. Link in bio.

A couple of new paddles after a LONG delay! Introducing HUMLE (Norwegian for Bumblebee) - a 14° bent shaft paddle and SYV (Norwegian for Seven) - a 7° bent shaft paddle. Links in the bio.

The paddles have been ready for a bit, and can even be found at already. The delay was due to a shoulder injury (4 tendons in total needing repair) and was just not able to work in the studio. Thanks to the great team at in Duluth. Today marks 4 months since the the surgery and I am just starting to feel like I can put a full day of work.

While I sat (and slept!) in a recliner for the first number of weeks, I an grateful for including me in their magazine of items good to go! And for a friend, , helping me ease the process of making paddles in a way to protect these shoulders.

Here’s to the summer of post surgery and physical therapy:)
