We Pitched the Sharks 🦈

The facts:

  • We pitched the Paddle Pump to Shark Tank ✓
  • It didn't make it to TV (yet) ✓
  • We're still here, still pumping ✓

Here's the Deal

Remember that moment in every Shark Tank pitch where the entrepreneur says "but we have a problem with production"? That's us.

The Good: Paddle Pumps are flying off the shelves (or out of our hangar, technically)

The Challenge: We're hand-building them one at a time in Maine. Not exactly scalable.

What is Next

We’re developing a more scalable construction using injection molding and marine-grade materials. Production is ramping, and we expect to be back on shelves this summer.

Maine Made

Floatplane flying in Maine is an intrinsic part of Maine's rural heritage. With over 5,000 ponds and lakes throughout the state, at one point, floatplanes were the only means of accessing its remote parts. The general aviation community still thrives in Maine as an efficient means to accessing Maine's remote ponds and islands.

We are proud to have our roots in Maine and be building our products here.  We make our paddle blades and handles out of recycled plastics in order to do our park in keeping our waterways and oceans clean.​
