“We believe the need for adventure will never change – the desire to connect with the water and the world around us will never fade.” – John Hibbard
There’s nothing quite like discovering a pristine stretch of water—whether it’s the sheltered harbours of Great Barrier Island or the stunning Lake Rotoiti in Rotorua—but not being able to fully explore it. Whether you’re launching straight from the shore or looking to push beyond your boat’s limits, the right gear makes all the difference. That’s where Red Paddle Co comes in—helping Kiwis embrace adventure and explore further.
