Tell me the story.


What a story can a paddle tell? Long days over calm waters or against the wind in stormy weather. Standing alone against a tree near the tent or  close to the owner, sleeping under his canoe. Standing together in a long winter with other paddles waiting for the first tour when the ice is gone.

A paddle made by me ca. 50 years ago, still locking good and fine and has thousands of stories to tell. Today at Nordmarken Canoe Center we put some fine oil to the paddles and now they are waiting for another season and we do hope that the user will understand how to take care of this fine instrument to bring the canoe and people to new adventure on the stream and lakes in Nordmarken.

For me a paddle have a soul, but it takes some years before we understand it and respect it.
