Palm Equipment

Since 1979, Palm’s founder Andy Knight has kept things simple – make gear for paddlers—a heritage canoe and kayak brand we are excited to have in Canada. Their mission is to enable a lifetime of paddlesports fun for everyone, with respect for the environment. Believing that with better equipment comes safer, more enjoyable experiences. Palm Equipments products are designed in-house and made by those who share our values. Their home is in Somerset, UK, and have a base in Asbach, Germany too, as well as their manufacturing facilities in Hanoi, Vietnam. Palm Equipment and their associated brands VE Paddles, Islander Kayaks, Dagger Kayaks and Wilderness Systems are amongst the top brands in the world.
