Palm Equipment
Since 1979, Palm’s founder Andy Knight has kept things simple – make gear for paddlers. The mission is to enable a lifetime of paddlesport fun for everyone, with respect for the environment. We believe that with better equipment comes safer, more enjoyable experiences. Palm's products are designed in-house and made by those who share our values. Their home is in Somerset, UK, and they have a base in Asbach, Germany too, as well as manufacturing facilities in Hanoi, Vietnam.
