Touring Kayaks

These are the boats that you see slicing through the waves out on Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. Stretching from about 14 feet to 18 feet and even longer, they're designed for speed, efficient paddling and the ability to handle moderate to intermediate swells. They generally feature watertight compartments fore and aft for gear storage and floatation, as well as moveable rudders to assist with steering in crosswinds.

Suggested Accessories - Short-cut PFD, carbon paddle, paddle float, paddle leash, neoprene sprayskirt, cockpit cover, paddling wetsuit, paddling jacket, neoprene booties, bailer pump, sponge, tow line belt, deck bag, marine compass, signal flares with launcher, strobe, VHF radio, dry bags, saddle style carrier racks.

Recreational Kayaks

Rec boats are the fun loving kid brothers (or should we say kid sisters?) of the larger touring boats. Ranging from about 9 feet to around 14 feet in length, these smaller boats are equally at home on inland lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. What they lack in size and speed they more than make up for in terms of maneuverability and above all comfort, with wider cockpits, plushier seating and impressive primary and secondary stability. Some of the larger rec boats feature one or more watertight compartment for gear storage, and some may have a skeg or rudder to assist with tracking in a straight line.

Sit-On-Tops

Sit-On-Tops got their start when someone decided that it might be kind of fun to just sit on a surf board and paddle around in the waves for awhile... and as it turns out, they were right! Since then, SOT's have branched out into all kinds of variations, from whitewater trick boats to gentle family boats, from nimble wave surfers to ultra stable fishing, swimming and scuba platforms. They're a whole lot of fun for everyone, but are particularly suited to kids and also to adults who are just learning to paddle and are a little hesitant about being confined in a conventional kayak cockpit. Because they are generally more exposed to the elements they are definitely more of a warm weather inshore boat, but most have comfort and convenience features such as padded seat backs, cup holders, self-draining cockpits and cooler-sized "tank wells".

Tandem Kayaks

If you thought paddling a kayak by yourself was fun, wait 'til you get the chance to take someone else along for the ride! Tandem boats are designed to provide two paddlers with a stable and comfortable boat that can go just about anywhere and allow you to do just about anything, from fitness paddling to fishing or from birding to photography. Tandems come in touring, recreational and sit-on-top versions so you'll be sure to find a boat that will be perfect for your style of adventure.

Canoes

Modern canoes are the descendants of the fragile craft of wood and bark that opened up our continent to exploration and commerce. Most are now made of technical materials such as Kevlar, carbon and polymer laminates, but their general shape and details of design are those that were first developed on the forest floor. Ranging from short and sporty solo boats to long and lean racing shells, they still evoke the rich cultural heritage that gave birth to them. To paddle one is to paddle through the history of our nation; to own one is to own a treasured symbol of what Canada is all about.
