What Paddlers Say

Real stories from real adventurers who paddle with PaddleWave gear

The ProStroke carbon paddle changed everything for me. Lighter, stiffer, and my stroke efficiency improved overnight. Worth every single euro.

I took their 30L dry bag on a 5-day expedition through Scottish lochs. Torrential rain, capsizes β€” my gear stayed bone dry. Absolutely bombproof.

Customer service is exceptional. They helped me choose the right PFD for whitewater, and it's been incredibly comfortable on every run since. Legends.

About PaddleWave

Born on the water, built for paddlers

Kayaking team

Our Story

PaddleWave was born in 2015 from a simple frustration: finding quality kayaking gear shouldn't feel like navigating class V rapids. Our founders β€” three lifelong paddlers from the coasts of Norway, Portugal, and Croatia β€” set out to create a one-stop destination for premium kayak accessories that actually deliver on their promises.

What started as a garage operation with a dozen hand-tested paddles has grown into Europe's most trusted specialist retailer for kayaking equipment. We've stayed true to our roots: every single product in our lineup is field-tested by our team before it earns a spot on our shelves.

Today, we serve over 12,000 paddlers across 28 European countries, from weekend lake explorers to professional expedition kayakers. Our mission hasn't changed: make every paddle stroke count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about our products and services

How do I choose the right paddle length?

Paddle length depends on your height, kayak width, and paddling style. As a general rule: if you're under 170cm, go for a 210–220cm paddle. Between 170–185cm, choose 220–230cm. Over 185cm, opt for 230–240cm. For wider kayaks or low-angle touring, add 10cm. Our experts can help you find the perfect fit β€” just reach out!

Do you ship internationally?

Yes! We ship to all EU countries with free delivery on orders over €75. For non-EU European countries (UK, Switzerland, Norway), shipping starts at €9.90. We also offer worldwide shipping β€” rates are calculated at checkout. Most EU orders arrive within 3–5 business days.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 30-day hassle-free return policy. If you're not 100% satisfied, simply contact us, and we'll arrange a return pickup. Products must be unused and in original packaging. Refunds are processed within 5 business days of receiving the returned item. Sale items can be exchanged or returned for store credit.

Are your life vests CE certified?

Absolutely. All PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices) in our catalog meet or exceed EU safety standards (EN ISO 12402). Each vest is CE certified and independently tested. We carry PFDs rated for different water activities β€” from calm-water touring to Class IV+ whitewater.

How waterproof are your dry bags?

Our AquaVault dry bags are rated IPX8 waterproof, meaning they can withstand continuous submersion. The welded seams and roll-top closure system ensure zero water ingress even in the roughest conditions. We test every batch by submerging bags for 30 minutes at 1 meter depth.

Do you offer wholesale or bulk pricing?

Yes! We work with kayak schools, tour operators, and rental companies across Europe. Bulk orders of 10+ items qualify for special pricing. Contact our wholesale team at [email protected] or use the contact form, and we'll put together a custom quote within 48 hours.

Can I get advice on choosing the right gear?

That's what we're here for! Our team are all experienced kayakers who love geeking out about gear. You can reach us via live chat, email, or phone. Tell us about your paddling style, experience level, and what waters you'll be on, and we'll recommend the perfect setup for you.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers (SEPA). All payments are processed securely through our PCI-compliant payment gateway with 256-bit SSL encryption.
