Don’t worry, this is not a real product update.

It was just an April Fools Day joke.

Carry on, paddlers!

Badger Paddles Sizing Update for the 2026 Season

Like many small manufacturers, we’ve seen significant increases in material and production costs. Rather than change our materials or how we build our paddles, we’ve made a small adjustment to the sizes of our canoe paddles.

This allows us to keep price increases as low as possible while continuing to build everything with the same high quality woods and craftsmanship that you have come to know and trust.

Beginning this spring, sizes will be updated as follows:

Please note: Model names will remain the same for simplicity and to avoid confusion. All measurements in inches unless otherwise specified.

This change allows us to continue using the same materials and craftsmanship you have come to know and trust while keeping price increases as low as possible.

We wanted to give our customers a heads-up before the paddling season begins.

Thank you for your continued support.
