we look at the canoe and it's the kind of the finished manifestation of what paddling is all about but if you dial back farther and recognize that the the plant that the canoes are built in is in every detail a design of the real boat builder there's a certain marriage that takes place between modern technology and old-world craftsmanship and then it comes to construction and that is really gifted people at every stage do what it takes to make it perfect perfect as we know it the perfection in all the details many of which folks just don't see there is a spiritual dimension to this moment our history is it's in the making Wynonna explore beyond you hello from wind paddle sails the wind paddle sail is often used on canoes but it seems the majority of pictures and videos we get are with kayaks so let's give canoes their deserved attention canoes can be sailed down and across the wind and lives the solo or traditional tandem paddling configuration using any one of the wind paddle sails here we have a somewhat traditional 16 foot fiberglass Klickitat canoe with the seat in the front the carryin thwart and the seat in the back now the boats like this often do not have a place to connect the sail in the front so in this boat we've put a little piece of cord across the bow section wide enough to connect the sail into it you need a wide enough platform for the sail to sit on and be somewhat stable when being flown from the front persons seat now all the person in the bow needs to do is release the retainer strap around the sail and handle the sail flying duties pointing the boat downwind and hold it onto the sail sheets you sailing your canoe can be a lot of fun in either the tandem or the solo configuration using a wind paddle sail you can cover a lot of ground in a short period of time here the canoe is being steered by just trailing the paddle behind the boat you you're looking at the Isle cruiser soft-top this board comes in one size ten five and three colorways blue aqua and yellow now this is a brand new breed of soft top paddle boards we've completely revamped our old construction and enhanced all aspects of the soft tops up all cruiser stand-up paddle boards come standard with a carbon adjustable paddle this has a carbon shaft and a nylon blades so it can accommodate different sized paddlers the 10-foot coiled leash will make sure you're always safe closed and attached to your board and the custom all-around fin works great for flat water paddling and small to mid-size surf like I mentioned we upgraded all the features on this board starting with the construction we have a double stringer foam core with a fiberglass wrap around the board for incredible strength and better rigidity next is the new comfort textured croc skin which allows for better traction and grip for those long paddles and surf sessions the cruiser is also equipped with a front bungee system so you can keep your cargo accessible and in one place transporting your board just became easier with the lifts up handle giving you a solid centered grab point that anyone can use safely our fully functional soft top paddleboard has the performance of a hard board with a soft construction now this is a great choice for all skill levels and it's designed to cruise flat water but can hold its own as an all-around board you
