Handmade from start to finish, for four decades.
Xylobladz has been crafting custom timber outrigger canoe and SUP paddles since 1986. Every paddle left our Bucasia workshop shaped, sanded and finished entirely by hand — no shortcuts, no mass production.
Over the years we built a loyal following of paddlers who kept coming back — not just for the feel of timber in their hands, but for the connection to the water that only a handmade wooden paddle can give.
The time has now come for us to step back. The workshop has closed, and we are fulfilling the last orders on the books. This site stands as a record of what Xylobladz was — and an open invitation to anyone who might carry the craft forward.
To every paddler who turned up at a race with a Xylo in hand, introduced a mate to timber, or trusted us with a custom order: thank you. Genuinely.
