We are celebrating our 40th birthday! In 1979 Andy Knight turned making kayaks as a hobby into a business – Palm Glass Fibre Moulding. We have grown as the sport has grown, to become Palm Equipment International Ltd. There have been some amazing moments along the way.

Our success is largely thanks to the paddling community. Whether you are a weekend warrior or a paddling pioneer, we would like to thank you for being part of our journey over the last four decades. Keep on doing what you do, paddling and exploring. We’ll be at work to make paddling safer, more stylish and more fun.

Join us in celebrating this milestone by sharing your Palm paddling stories with #Palm40years. We’d love to hear from you and our favourite tales will earn one of these commemorative Palm 40 year pin badges and sticker sheets …
