I am admittedly not the most outdoorsy person, but if I were to get on a boat and start paddling I would choose these Norquay Canoe Paddlers to sail away in style.
The paddles come from Norquay Co., a company "dedicated to camping vibes...founded by a camping enthusiast obsessed with the great outdoors and equally for great design," according to their website. Each paddle is made with 100% cherry wood in New Liskeard, Northern Ontario and then finished by hand in Montreal, Quebec. While all of the designs are lovely, my personal favorite is the 'Dandelion,' a yellow and grey paddle that looks too artsy to be used as a tool for moving around in water.
If you're planning a trip to the lake this summer, check out the Norquay Canoe Paddlers to add a bit of artistry to the great outdoors.
