Launch Week Day 5: Webbed Paddle Giveaway

Posted by 5 · March 21, 2014

*** Scroll to the bottom to enter the Shearwater Webbed Paddle giveaway*** Here at Garage Grown Gear we featured Shearwater Webbed Paddles in our list of the Top 10 Companies Making Truly Novel Outdoor Gear. Here's an excerpt from that post: "These compact, collapsible paddles were inspired by the webbed feet of swimming birds. Weighing between 1 and 2 pounds, Shearwater Webbed Paddles offers both a canoe and kayak paddle,

as well as a version that can convert between the two sports and also works for stand-up paddle boarding. They also function great as easy-to-stow backup paddles for motorized boats. Founder Chad Townsend is as an environmental planner for the town of Banff in Canada, and runs Shearwater as a creative outlet. 'I like the idea of being able to build them custom for different people’s height and need,' he said." Check out how well the paddles pack down ...

Great Company! Great Customer Service!

Garage Grown Gear is an awesome company run by people who really understand the field of wilderness travel and expeditions. The customer service is expectional.
Lloyd and his team are super friendly and knowledgeable. Buying products through Garage Grown Gear is a great way to support small businesses and avoid large corporations taking over our planet!

Great product and great, friendly service

I purchased a superior wilderness designs backpack from here. What was great is that purchasing the item through garage grown gear, rather than SWD themselves, I was able to get this item a lot faster. It's a custom made backpack and everything was exactly what I had asked for. They even forgot to charge me for an upgraded brace on the backpack and when I brought it up, they rewarded me with more goodies for honesty. Lloyd was super helpful throughout the process, with both myself and my husband who ordered our packs seperately. Will definitely purchase more items for our future asventures!

Unique outdoor gifts, fast shipping

I found some great Christmas gifts on this website! I live to support small outdoor startups so that makes the purchases even better. Fast processing and shipping. You rock GGG!!

Ten star rating needed!

You read that correctly! GGG have taken every curve ball I’ve thrown at them and delivered amazing results! From one off orders to the legendary seasonal box offerings, I have been BLOWN AWAY! I have never had the pleasure of working WITH a customer service so on top of the game until GGG. Lloyd and crew have my support tenfold! Highest recommends!

A Leaping-in-the-Air Standing Ovation

It's 4:43AM in the pre-dawn chill of the northern Sierra Nevada range. This windless night I jot notes on constellations, the rustle of raptor wings, and wonderment. From my FarmToFeet socks and Goosefeet Gear down booties to the Lawson's reflective ridgeline suspending my rainfly, I am pampered by Garage Grown Gear's genius and innovation. They equip me and my buddies for the funnest trekking of wild country! Whether it is the CedarPass field-notebook in my hands or the Thunderbolt Clothing pants wicking the strain of climbs and bouldering, Lloyd and his team at Garage Grown Gear deliver with the finest care and communications of a Hilton Hotel's concierge.
Every GGG item for my backpacking strengthens some startup gear engineer and all the crafters who build, fabricate or sew the GGG genius that comforts my buddies' outdoor excursions.
Now, I'll wander back to the awe of constellations and the run of condensation from our rainfly to the duff of 10,000 years' red cedar boughs.
