Recreational Paddling
Paddling is one of the best recreational activities that can include all the family, especially when added to a holiday or sharing in a fun event.
A recreational canoe or kayak is crafted for comfort and performance, used on a short pre-breakfast paddle or loaded with fishing gear or gear for overnight camping on wilderness river trip or ocean crossing.
