Repairs

Have you wrapped your whitewater canoe around a rock? Has your kayak started leaking due to too many rocky beach landings? Big or small, we can probably help.

Jeff was the repair and outfitting technician for Totem Outdoors Calgary and before that, Edmonton . When Totem closed and Undercurrents opened, Jeff became our Repair Guru. He has also headed the design and manufacturing for both Ganzo Gear and Fluid Designs – specialty paddle sports accessory manufacturers.

Jeff took a break from the repair industry to become a Machinist where he focused on prototyping. He still does a little millwright and machining work on the side.

Jeff has always been an avid canoeist, and still loves to regularly paddle with this wife and their pup. Back in the day, Jeff was hardcore into whitewater kayaking but he grew out of it.  

Don’t worry, he’s happy to repair your damaged canoe or kayak. Or even your paddle board.

Jeff has been repairing boats for most of the major paddle sports stores and clubs in the Calgary area for years. At this point there's almost nothing he hasn't seen.
