ABOUT LAM-LOK™ US Patent Pending

• Double down on edge protection with innovative Lam-Lok™ US Patent Pending technology
• Lam-Lok™ mechanically bonds the laminated blade layers together with over 33 feet of an aramid thread around the most vulnerable parts of the blades, dramatically extending the life of your paddle
• Protects blade edges by resisting delamination, impact and abrasion
• Lam-Lok™ is 5-10x more effective at fighting delamination than blades without it
  

ABOUT THE BLADES

• Aerial Major blade size best suited for paddlers who are larger-statured, in excellent paddling shape or require extra surface area to enact extremely responsive, aggressive maneuvers
  Wide, flattened foam spine simulates performance qualities of both a foil blade and a compression-molded blade
• Reinforced 100% carbon blade peg insert maximizes blade-to-shaft joint strength while matching the stiffness/flex balance of the entire paddle. Benefit from built-in durability
• Smooth transition from blade to shaft. No sharp edges to scrape hands or extra material to add friction in the water
  

ABOUT THE SHAFT

• 100% carbon construction optimized for a stiffness/flex balance between that of traditional carbon and fiberglass shafts to ease strain on shoulders
• High-tech, spread tow carbon weave increases the mechanical properties of the material (strength, stiffness, impact resistance) while reducing weight
• Ergonomic grip shape designed to match the natural shape of a closed hand
• Extra-long grip sections allow flexibility for hand placement to fit a greater number of shoulder widths and paddler preferences
• Tactile grip coating applied to shaft to help get a better hold–and it won’t destroy paddler calluses, to boot
• Designed for hand placement in line with blades
• Two-piece breakdown with Versa-Lok™ ferrule
  

ABOUT THE VERSA-LOK™ FERRULE

• Versa-Lok™ allows 5 cm of adjustable length and infinite offset angles. Adjust on the fly to confidently navigate tight passages or run long stretches with your ideal paddle fit
• Beefed up Versa-Lok™ to meet the rigors of whitewater paddling. Custom blended nylon ferrule material with very high fiberglass content for strength
• Secure, tight locked connection that grips onto the 100% carbon ferrule insert
• Ferrule insert extends extra far into the shaft, matching the stiffness/flex balance of the entire paddle
• Engineered to feel like paddling a one-piece with the versatility of a two-piece

17 inch Kayak Pump With Orange Foam. Throws water 5 to 8'.

With a high-visibility design and a high-volume pump, this is a necessary safety tool for any paddler.  Pumps are especially convenient in a sea kayak where scooping actions to bail water out are inhibited by a lack of space in the cockpit.

As with all safety gear, quality is important so you are confident it will perform when you need it most!  Our kayak pumps work as if your life depended on them. Because someday it may. In a water fight, a BilgeMaster pump does what any kayak pump will do. But when you're fighting for survival, it's in a class by itself. Just compare features (see below). You'll see there's nothing like the BilgeMaster for yourself and your loved ones.

100% industrial-grade plastics, stainless steel piston rod.

The book goes through the alphabet, each letter a different activity or lesson, accompanied with incredible illustrations to ignite the imagination.

The illustration are all originals done by the incredible award-winning artist, Christopher Hoyt. Christopher uses pen, ink and water colour to bring each letter to life and captivate any reader, young or old.

A humorous historical tale of travelling by canoe through Nova Scotia’s Tobeatic Wilderness Area and Kejimkujik. Mandatory reading for any canoeist in Nova Scotia.

  Tent Dwellers 

 Albert Bigelow Paine (1861-1937) was an American novelist, biographer, and editor. He was the official biographer and literary executor for Mark Twain.

Albert Bigelow Paine’s account of his three-week fishing adventure in the wilderness of Nova Scotia is a true classic. For over one hundred years, the adventures of the author and his companions, Eddie, Del, and Charlie, have been enjoyed by fishers, canoeists, and armchair travellers alike. Written with an unassuming wit, this nimble narrative captures the camaraderie of the journey and the appeal of life in the woods. Paine’s observations on the art of fishing conveys the elements of meditation, competition, and obsession familiar for those who practise, and enlightening for those who do not. His humorous and poetic depictions of campfire meals, tenting, navigation, encounters with wildlife, and assorted triumphs and blunders are as engaging and entertaining today as when The Tent Dwellers was first published in 1908.
