What’s—Clothing— NEW in Paddling

Greyduck Vision 17’ $4,500-$5,200

The VISION 17 is our first model to be built in Roseville, Minnesota. It is a tandem, flat water-touring canoe that follows a shallow arch hull design with great secondary stability. It’s slim enough to paddle comfortably solo in calm conditions and roomy enough for a weeklong wilderness trip.

This canoe is built using the latest in vacuum resin infusion technology with the added protection of Maxguard premium gelcoat. These canoes are heirloomquality products meant to be passed along to the next generation.

$4,500-$5,400

Carbon and Black Innegra co-woven outer with inner blanket of proprietary yellow and black aramid. Our lightest lamination at the expense of some durability, a dream for wet footed portaging. Only available with E6 trim and E6 parts: canoe weights reflect E6/E6 savings. Stealth is lighter than StarLite and has lower impact resistance. Weight savings and wet footed portaging go hand in hand. Many options are not offered with Stealth including: skid plates, adjustable seats, third seats, and kneeling thwarts. Color: black carbon and black Innegra weave.

Updated for 2023! Our most popular blade style for flatwater, the Sting Ray Fiberglass offers tight-fitting construction and reliable performance.

Say hello to Orion Series Coolers from Jackson Adventures, the perfect step up from your Walmart Cooler. Easily transported by canoe, raft, truck, or even small planes, with capacity to hold quartered game, large or small fish, and food for day or a week, the Orion Series has the right size for any adventure.

The Cadence is designed to have a slightly larger footprint, which helps to distribute flotation over a wider area. The result is a thinner profile that provides more mobility and comfort, while reducing interference with today's taller seat backs. Along with providing a great fit, the Cadence also features multiple pockets. It is perfect for use with boats that feature a higher seat back, but is right at home in a touring boat with sprayskirt.
