Uniquely Yours!
Since Jim custom builds your paddle, he can help you dial in the best combination of woods and shapes to keep you paddling strong all day long.
Bottom Line
Whatever your craft or paddling style you can have a RivrStyx built that is perfect for your mission.
A bit About Jim
Jim is a world famous kayak designer and paddle maker. He’s been doing both for decades and is credited with helping the sport evolve into the cubic state it is in today. He was one of the pioneers of squirtboating and was the first person to cartwheel a kayak on flatwater in 1981. Jim began his whitewater career as a raft guide and lives like a squire in northern West Virginia. He was inducted into the International Whitewater Hall of Fame years ago but claims he only needs rocks and water to keep himself happy.
