Who We Are

RiverSync Paddles was founded by Toby Jones and Ali McCreery, both lifelong paddlers with a passion for all things design and engineering.

Expertly crafted in our North Wales workshop using UK woven materials, our products are designed to help paddlers perform at their best. With an ongoing focus on innovation and design, we aim to provide our customers with paddles that will help them get the most out of their time on the water.

We pride ourselves on the bespoke nature of our products. Every paddle is made to order, allowing us to tailor it to your exact requirements. We love to work alongside our customers, combining our wealth of experience with their knowledge of their own paddling style and needs, to produce a quality piece of equipment that helps paddlers perform when it matters.
