Who We Are

We have co-founded Bonnechere Paddles to share our passion for the water and the outdoors. We love to be outside. We like to enjoy the stilness of a lake and the rush of moving water. Having worked "day jobs" we both enjoy every moment at Bonnechere Paddles. Watersports and tripping should be about having fun and staying safe. We endeavour to focus on both in equal abundance.
