About

My name is Ben Fontenot and many kayakers will recognize my work from years of production as BFPaddles.

I’ve been shaping Greenland paddles for nearly 15 years, with hundreds of them being used across North America for touring, rolling, and surfing.

Amulet is the refined evolution of my work as a paddle maker and craftsman. It’s a shop dedicated to producing boutique Greenland paddles for sea kayakers and collectors.

I’m still making and customizing paddles but with a rebrand and now in small furniture shop located in Saint Paul, MN
