Nimbus Paddles

05/05/2026

Small boat. Big confidence.

I've been working with Nimbus Kayaks to create an all new surf-touring kayak this winter, and was finally able to put it through its paces on a 4 day trip on North Vancouver Island. We had the opportunity to paddle through Gale force winds, big swell, surf, and everything the Pacific could throw at it. Loaded with gear, and empty, it felt right at home - handcrafted here on the West Coast.

More info to come.

Action shot from Larry Chomyn in his green Reflection. Always capturing the kind of moments that make paddling look effortless.

Another action shot from Larry Chomyn in his Reflection. Built for control, the Reflection handles surf, current, and tight features with ease - whether you're carving waves, threading rock gardens, or loading up for a weekend trip. With a 16' length, 23 1/8" beam, and 400 lb load capacity, it’s compact enough for play but still ready for adventure.

We love our local waves. ❤️

Throwback to Larry Chomyn catching waves at Skookumchuck Narrows. The Reflection really shines in conditions like this—responsive, reliable, and always up for a challenge. If dynamic water is your thing, a Sterling’s worth a look.

Entirely handmade on Quadra Island; a world famous kayaking destination, we are one of the few paddle makers who handcrafts every single part of every paddle in house, from their raw materials. We are a proud Product of Canada, and display that pride on every paddle.
