Aqua Bound was born in Surrey, British, Columbia in 1991, manufacturing paddles for whitewater, touring and recreational kayaking and canoeing.  Aqua Bound quickly became the number one producer of plastic-bladed kayak paddles as they were the first to introduce gas-assist molded paddle blades to the industry. This technology made durable paddles at lighter weights possible.  In 2008, Branches LLC purchased Aqua Bound Technologies and moved the company to Osceola, WI USA. The paddles are still built here with the same passion for extraordinary quality and service.
