About Us
Founded in Oregon, Lightning developed a well-deserved reputation for innovation and lightweight, yet super-strong paddles. The designs have been updated and are still hand-made by paddlers, but now in a workshop near the village of Regen, Germany. Reintroduced into the North American market by Jackson Kayak in 2010, Lightnings have become the paddle of choice for many of the world’s top freestylers and creekers.
