PaddlePin
Available nowRecord every paddle. Remember every adventure.
PaddlePin helps paddleboarders, kayakers, and canoeists record their routes, capture photos, save notes, and build a journal of unforgettable adventures.
A paddle is more than a line on a map.
The best parts of an outing — the heron that lifts off the water, the quiet stretch past the mangroves, the launch you want to find again, the workout you actually did — usually fade by the time you're back on shore.
PaddlePin is built to hold the whole outing: the route, the effort, the moments worth a pin, and a recap you can keep and share.

Four simple steps — get on the water fast, capture the outing, and keep it forever.
