About Us

At Three Oceans, it’s all about you—the wave chaser, the paddler who never backs down, the one who thrives with saltwater in your hair. Whether you’re tackling choppy seas or gliding through glassy water, we’re here to make sure you’re not just along for the ride—you’re leading it in the perfect surfski or kayak for your style.

The name? Three Oceans is a nod to the waters we grew up in (Indian, Atlantic & Pacific), from endless surf sessions to paddling until our arms burned (in a good way).
With decades of experience as athletes, coaches, and boat matchmakers, we’ve learned a thing or two about what it takes to perform at your best on the water. Think of us as your friendly paddling guru, here to guide you through the world of high-performance boats, so you can focus on what really matters: paddling like the legend you are.

You’ve got the passion, we’ve got the know-how—together, we’ll make sure you’re in the right boat and ready to crush it out there.

Our Mission

Three Oceans was founded in 2016 with one simple vision in mind; to grow and support niche water sports in the United States with high quality products and expert guidance.  

We believe in the transformative, positive, community building power of sport.  We believe in the ideals and philosophy of Olympism – in “blending sport with culture and education, Olympism seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principles in the spirit of friendship and fair play”.  

As a proud women-owned business, we bring a unique perspective to the world of water sports. Our extensive paddling experience, combined with our dedication to inclusivity and empowerment, drives us to share the exhilarating joy of surfski paddling with each of our customers.

The Team

At Nordic Kayaks USA, we’re here to help you find your perfect ride on the water. With over 50 years of combined paddling experience, we know how to match you with the right boat—whether you’re cruising calm waters or charging through surf like a pro.

Leading the way, we have Michele Eray, an Olympian and World Champion paddler, who’s coached everyone from weekend warriors to podium finishers. And then there’s Maggie Hogan, also an Olympian and World Championship medalist—she’s been there, done that, and brought home the hardware!

But don’t let all the titles fool you—we remember what it’s like to start as a beginner, wobbling in the tippy boats. That’s why we’re here, not just to sell you a kayak, but to guide you from your first paddle stroke to wherever your paddling journey takes you.

Your adventure, our expertise.
