About SOLWYRX paddle gear

The SOLWYRX story

Hi, I'm Jacob Linkhart, founder of SOLWYRX Paddle Gear. SOLWYRX is a whitewater-focused shop based in Oregon, built to bring quality gear and a strong sense of community to paddlers across the Pacific Northwest.

The goal behind SOLWYRX is simple. Create a place where boaters can find reliable gear that is chosen with real use on the river in mind. We are starting with a curated lineup through partnerships with Pak Products and SOTAR, including handmade boats and gear from brands that share the same focus on performance and craftsmanship.

SOLWYRX is growing step by step. As the shop develops, we are expanding into original merchandise such as stickers, posters, hats, shirts, and more, while continuing to build relationships with companies that care about the whitewater community as much as we do.

This is more than just a store. SOLWYRX is an ongoing project built around connection, progression, and support within the paddling world. The vision is to grow alongside the community and help bring in the gear and ideas that paddlers actually want to see.

If you choose to support SOLWYRX by purchasing from the shop or contributing through donations, you are directly helping expand the lineup, strengthen partnerships, and move the project forward. Every bit of support helps turn this into something bigger for the river community.
