Limited Edition Maple Leaf Paddler Pendants Makes a great gift — to yourself or for your friends or loved ones 
In almost every part of the world where early humans lived, paddling has a history that has been recorded in pictures by carving into natural rock surfaces. These drawings, called petroglyphs, have a common character throughout the world, portraying symbols of the self, nature, and spirit. Around the world, people speculate about the mysterious and haunting figures and those who made them. And in all of the world, pictographs of paddlers speak to a shared appreciation for paddling, and of the beauty in synchronization of muscle and finely tuned focus. Paddling well is one of the most beautiful things you can witness in the athletic world. To see a maple leaf is to think of Canada. Historians tell us that the two are inextricably intertwined in the minds and hearts of a people; over the centuries, the maple leaf has emerged as the dominant visual symbol of Canada. Canada is in the unique position of being the only country to have a sport in the Olympic movement named after it: canoeing is called ‘C’boat, for Canada. These finely crafted pendants reflect this love of paddling and portray a deep connection to the water.
