Steve Kerr's Handmade Paddleboards, Slocan, BC

Nelson, April 2012 – First paddleboards taking shape:

Inspired by the Hawaiian “Gun”

and

“Blondie” – 11’5 Standup Surfboard

Steve Kerr – based in Nelson, British Columbia, is starting the process of handcrafting exquisite stand-up paddleboards using sustainably harvested local wood.

In the next year, he will be producing a limited number to test in the water.

The Kootenays of BC offer some of the most beautiful waterways on earth to paddle, and so inspiration comes easily.

Steve’s knowledge of the area and his twenty years of snowboarding and back country experience inform his creative expression.
