Badger Paddles... for those who dig the water.

I was still a little nervous about putting these out into the world, but I should have known my fellow unicorn girlies would have my back! 💕

This little lady was the very first person to buy a Paddle Sticker Sheet on Saturday morning, less than an hour after they hit the shelf. Then, just a little later, a pink Canoe Creature paddle found a new home because one little paddler spotted the sparkles and just had to have it. ✨

I can’t even describe how special it is to see kids get so excited about something you dreamed up and created. Moments like these make every late night, every sketch, and every bit of hard work completely worth it. 🥹

Paddles up, and a huge thank you to Dad for letting us capture and share this special moment!

A BADGER × HAP WILSON COLLAB

Designed for the realities of backcountry travel, The Explorer features a short, traditionally shaped teardrop beavertail blade, a distinctive Woodland (Northwoods-style) grip, and a graphite-infused, epoxy-dipped blade tip built for rugged wilderness travel.

Each paddle is engraved with exclusive artwork by Hap Wilson, his signature, and a unique number and year.

Inspired by a lifetime spent exploring wild places and designed with one of Canada’s most respected wilderness travellers, The Explorer is ready for its next chapter.
