Canoeing with friends in remote regions of Canada has always been an opportunity to reset from the day-to-day routines. The stunning beauty of an early canoe trip down the ‘pool and drop’ Agawa River flowing into Lake Superior, imprinted AGAWA’s founders with a lifelong passion for back country travel.

They would often find themselves discussing the shortcomings of some of their gear,while enjoying the evening camp fire. Often, pre-trip preparations involved time spent modifying gear to improve performance.

Career transitions offered an opportunity to explore the development of a truly superior camp saw. Agawa Canyon Inc. was launched out of a garage in 2014. Much of the initial funding for the BOREAL21 camp saw was provided by our early supporters through a Kickstarter campaign. Thank you.  The BOREAL21 was just the beginning- stay tuned!

The Agawa Team continues to spend considerable time in canoes, paddling rivers across Canada’s north.

Adventurers first.  Agawa brings together an exceptional team with well rounded experience in instrumentation, engineering, industrial design, supply chain and quality control.

Our mission is to combine our love for the outdoors with these skills to create best in class gear for the outdoor adventurer.
