Grassroots Outdoor Alliance has admitted Accent and Cannon Paddles as its newest Vendor Partners.
Accent and Cannon Paddles have been made in Minneapolis, MN for 40 years. The company was started by Stu Lee in 1983 and is now operated by his son Stuart. All of their paddles are designed by the highly regarded paddle designer Lee Bognfilio. Bognifilio has already left his mark in the paddlesports industry and continues to exclusively design for Accent and Cannon Paddles today.
“We are excited to work with the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance network of dealers,” said Peter Noren, director of sales for Accent and Cannon. “This membership showcases a very high level of service and genuine commitment to paddlesports. Specialty retailers are imperative for the long term viability of this industry. The Grassroots network of dealers is a fantastic group and we are proud to have them offer Accent and Cannon Paddles. We look forward to working with them to promote paddlesports and help them produce long term success with Accent and Cannon Paddles”.
Grassroots President Roanne Miller commended Accent paddles for its commitment to the specialty distribution channel.
