O2P Testimonials

Osborne2paddle hand paddles inspire me every time I use them. So much fun! I'm extremely satisfied with the quality and craftsmanship.

Kylee Simon

As a beginner I swim all the dam time and yard sale my gear often. I bought my BF an O2P tow tether and he uses it every time we paddle together.

Brittany Foxx

I love sitting on my portage pad to better enjoy my lunch after a long morning of boating. It also makes carrying my kayak pain free.

Kristina Jones

Rich is a compassionate instructor and mentor. He helped me fine tune my roll and I finally feel confident again. He's very calm, patient and easy to learn from.

Mark Foster

I'm a recreational kayaker and needed a lightweight easy kayak to travel with. I bought a Stashraft and absolutely love it, so easy to set up, breakdown and pack up.

Samantha Gilbert

We visited NC to kayak and needed a knowledgeable guide to help us down river. Rich was awesome! he knew the rivers well, offered great beta and kept us all safe.
