Our Services
-
Snapped, bent, or just feeling floppy? Shane can replace your old shaft with a brand-new one that’s strong, sleek, and ready to rip.

Want to take your paddle on the road (or the plane)? We can convert it into a travel-friendly 2, 3, or 4-piece setup. Packs down small, performs like a beast.
-
Need to fine-tune your length or feather angle? We can install an adjustable system so you can tweak your setup on the go

Not ready to say goodbye? We can fix a broken shaft with a spigot — a smart, strong join that gives your paddle a second life.
-
Blades looking a bit worse for wear? Chips, cracks, or battle scars — we can patch them up and get you back on the water.
-
Different brands, different builds — not all paddles are created equal. But if it’s fixable, Shane can probably fix it. Flick us the details and we’ll take a look.

Got a crack in your kayak? Shane’s not just a paddle guy. If your boat needs a little love, we might be able to help there too.
