Always faster. Always further.
Our production of paddles and oars was started back in1989 by Mihhail Zaitsev, a veteran of the 1980 summer Olympic Games and a man who has come to know the sea like the back of his hand. Mihhail Zaitsev has long believed that when it comes to today’s equipment, it is really all about taking traditional solutions and refining them to suit modern conditions. His thinking remains close to our hearts as we continue to use the best modern materials to create increasingly more efficient paddles and oars. We always think about the paddlers and the rowers. About their comfort. And about nature.


Johan Wirsén – the world famous kayak designer
Let me introduce myself to you!
I am Johan Wirsén a Swedish boat builder and kayak designer. Over the years I have designed and developed a large number of kayaks and small boats. What began as a hobby and a fascination with kayaks has evolved in recent years into my fulltime job. Today I can look back on my work with pride, and marvel at the extent to which boats created by Wirsén have attracted attention and received a great deal of praise in trials and professional literature.
