Discover the timeless technique and feel behind the Greenland paddle – an elegant and efficient paddling style with roots in the Arctic seas' kayak culture.

​

A tradition of precision and balance

The Greenland paddle, originally created by the Inuit, is designed for harmony between paddler, kayak, and water. The narrow design and smooth motion provide quiet, natural, and energy-efficient paddling. It's not about power – but about rhythm, control, and flow.

 

For all levels

Whether you're a beginner or experienced paddler, you can benefit from the natural movement and relaxed technique that makes tours longer, easier, and more fun. Perfect tool for you who have problems with shoulders, neck, and hands.

Experience the difference for real. Our instructors guide you through the technique and ensure you get a safe and inspiring experience on the water.

Discover the simplicity

Many who try it say the same thing – that the Greenland paddle is about more than just paddling. It's about presence, balance, and the feeling of being one with the sea.
