Palm Logo

Palm is a paddler-owned company founded by Andy Knight and Bob Slee. The business is based in the south West of England within easy reach of some of the UK's best surf, coastal exploration and white-water paddling - a good base to become absorbed by paddle sport.

Lack of equipment available in the late 70's lead Andy and Bob into making glass fibre kayaks for them selves and a few friends. Soon requests for boats came from more friends, then friends of friends and so leaving jobs behind they started a business - Palm.

Dagger

Our goal is to represent everything that’s great about getting on the water, from the technical aspects of rec and touring to the pure rush of whitewater.

Dagger owners know that their kayak didn’t go into production until it met the standards of our amazing design team, and took the beating of a lifetime by our team paddlers.

Wilderness Systems

Escaping the lights and noise for the brilliant colors and smooth landscapes of the wide-open; you’ve found perfection. It’s only fitting that you choose a kayak designed to match. Since 1985, Wilderness Systems has been chasing that same perfection.
