Joe Matuska received his first kayak paddle and boat in 1973 as a graduation gift. After swimming several times during his first outing with them, he came home with a broken paddle and a broken boat. Figuring that someone with a degree in Medical Microbiology should be able to fix a broken paddle and boat, he went to work on them. The next thing he knew, he had a new hobby which lead to a lengthy career in the paddlesport industry. In 1991, Joe started Aqua-Bound in Surrey, British, Columbia.

The company manufactures paddles for whitewater, touring and recreational kayaking as well as canoeing, and has quickly become the number one producer of plastic-bladed kayak paddles. Aqua-Bound is also the first to introduce gas-assist molded paddle blades. Your paddle will be in your hands most of the time you're on the water, so picking the right one is critical. A paddle that fits you and your paddling style can make the difference between a fun, rewarding experience on the water and sore hands and shoulders. Aqua-Bound has many paddles to choose from to find your perfect fit. Get your hands on an Aqua-Bound paddle and prepare to elevate your experience.
