Lendal was founded in Scotland in 1964 by paddling Olympians Alistair and Marianne Wilson. They built their business on the mantra that every paddle was built as if a life or dream depended on it (after all, doesn’t it?). For over 40 years, they put their knowledge and unwavering passion to work to develop Lendal paddles, a brand that was built on quality, innovation, and world-class ruggedness.

 

In May 2010, Lendal was purchased and relocated to North Wales and Rochester, New York. Lendal and Lendal North America (call us Lendal NA for short) produce a full range of paddles, including the XRANGE which was developed by Lendal NA and is manufactured in North America.

 

Lendal NA is a company of world-class scientists, engineers, and outdoor aficionados. When we are not in the paddle lab or on the production floor you can usually find us on the water, on the slopes, or on our motorcycles. Our mission is simple: build the best paddle on the market—second place isn’t an option. Like Alistair our founder, we know the only path to success is through quality, innovation, and never ever letting our customers down.

 

Lendal NA is the sole manufacturer and distributor of Lendal Paddles in North America. North American residents can purchase our paddles directly through retailers in North America and on LendalNA.com. Residents outside North America should visit Lendal.com. To ensure the best fit, paddles purchased from LendalNA.com will be shipped to the customer's local retailer, where the paddles can be evaluated for the proper fit and function.
