Paddle Short *Long

Est. 2017 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

An online swimwear and beachwear store offering a diverse collection of one-piece and bikini tops, bottoms, cover-ups, and accessories for women

Women, athletes, enthusiasts of life, lovers of adventure (and margaritas). Shannon & Laura met at lululemon where they both worked for 11+ years on the product team. Shannon, the former VP of Women’s Design, created the women’s run line, which includes the famous Speed Short and Swiftly Tech. Laura led the Speed to Market team, where she created the Free to Be Bra *Wild, Jet Crop and Love Tee….#NBD. Those were good times…
On a cool evening while hot tubbing in Vancouver, BC and catching up about their most recent surf and kiteboarding trips (probably drinking margaritas), the two product-loving athletes (naturally) got to talking about their frustrations with their swimsuits. They were tired of their swim gear letting them down in every way. They had the surf suit, the lap suit, the hot tub suit, but not one suit that they loved, looked good in, and that could stand up to all their adventures.
