REMEMBER LAST WINTER?

It was cold. And long. Remember that?

Summer may just be underway but those legendary Canada Goose down jackets have arrived at Wild Rock.

And they will sell out by December.

Be warm this winter.

“There is nothing that is so aesthetically pleasing and yet so functional and versatile as the canoe�

- BILL MASON -

N o v a C r a f t Canoes Wild Rock has always had a love affair with canoes and the great experience they bring in the outdoors. What is a more quintessential Canadian experience then paddling a canoe! Needless to say we are very excited to have Nova Craft Canoes on board this season at Wild Rock. Nova Craft is a Canadian company with roots in London, Ontario and makes some of the most beautiful boats around.

A canoe is a significant long term investment and selecting the right canoe to meet your needs and budget is our priority. Nova Craft offers a wide range of canoes - from the iconic Prospector series to the asymmetrical hull of the Falcon and Eagle (and even the legendary Moisie whitewater boats!).

Not sure what boat suits your needs? Our Nova Craft canoes are available to try in our rental program - take one out for a weekend or a week and find out for yourself what makes a Nova Craft canoe so special!

You may not be looking to point a boat down some rapids this weekend, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun on the water. Recreational and touring kayaks are great for exploring rivers, cruising around the lake and loading up for a multi-day trip.

WILDERNESS SYSTEMS ASPIRE 105.

A great boat for medium to larger paddlers. The 10’6” length is versatile, stable and comfortable with a 60cm cockpit width. $739.

PERCEPTION EXPRESSION. Looking for a boat with exceptional all day comfort? The Expression’s Zone Deluxe Seating system lets you dial in your fit for one of the most comfortable days you will have on the water. $1,129.

WILDERNESS SYSTEMS PUNGO 120.

A best seller for Wild Rock - great stability, comfort, storage room - pretty much perfect! A light boat for its 12’ length, and it comes in great colours too! $869.99.

You have seen them around the cottage, the river, maybe even a floating yoga class. There is no doubt that Stand Up Paddling is popular right now with lots of options for boards on the market. Hold up before you grab one from the nearest gas station on the way to the Muskokas..... not all boards are created equal. While they make look similar those “budget” boards are very heavy (think 60 lbs), slow and a bit like paddling a floating dock!

What do you get with a better board? A much better paddling SUP, lighter weight (think 22 lbs and under!),

much greater maneuverability, aesthetics and a board that is going to last you for years to come.

BOARDWORKS RAVEN. Yes the Raven looks incredible, but it is more than just a good looker. The 12’6” board is the perfect all arounder - great for cruising, exploring, and spending long days soaking up the sun. $1699.

STARBOARD ASTRO BLEND. An inflatable SUP? You bet.

Pump the Astro Blend up, hit the water, and tuck it into your trunk when you are done. The inflatable SUP solves all those pesky space problems. $999-$1399.

KIDS LOVE BIKES

WHY BUY FROM US? Kids bikes have long been the domain of the department store. Lets face it - kids are hard on equipment and grow like weeds - so why would you spend more on a kids bike from a bike shop?

Read on parents - Wild Rock is looking out for Mom and Dad, and the little ripper too!

1. We get it. We love bikes, and have kids too. Wild Rock stocks the same bikes that our kids ride to school and in the park on the weekend. We know that good quality kids bikes will last longer, work better, and be more fun to ride.

2. Expertise. Every kids bike we sell has been assembled by a trained, professional mechanic the same ones setting up those $5000 dream machines. When you wheel that new bike out the door you can be sure it is safe and ready to ride.

And just like all our bikes, our kids bikes are backed by a great warranty and our commitment to service.

3. The right fit. We stock kids bikes in all sizes, for boys and girls. From tiny “run bikes�, to your child's first off-road machine, Wild Rock can make sure your little one is on a bike that fits and is safe to ride.

4. Quality. With kids bikes paying a little more gets you a lot more! Better quality frames, longer lasting components, and lighter weight all add up to a better ride for the kids and peace of mind for parents.
