Meet Jim Terrel

Quickblade is the brainchild of Jim Terrell, a four time Olympic Canoeist. In fact, he has endless National and International awards and titles. His passion for building the finest competition paddles began at the ripe age of 11 in his father's garage in Milford, Ohio.

To this day, Jim is obsessed with hydrodynamics and has decades of experience with scientifically testing paddle mechanics and strain gage force analysis, and has an extensive background in composite technology applications. In layman's terms, the more Jim puts into it, the more you'll get out of it.

Jim has been very involved over the years with scientific testing of paddle mechanics, including under water high speed photography and strain gage force analysis. He has an extensive background in a variety of composite technology applications, including aerospace and motor sports. He applies all of his experience and knowledge into very innovative new designs and shapes, utilizing the most advanced aerospace products on the market.
