Canoes

Based on the success of their introduction of the Canak, a canoe-kayak hybrid released last year, Wenonah is also showing off the decked solo's new little brother, the Mini Canak, at this year’s Outdoor Retailer...

 ...a convention for industry insiders in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Mini promises to be more maneuverable in tighter waterways than the full sized Canak, ready to take on bigger water.

We’re not sure we’re ready to trade our single blade in for kayak paddles yet, but according to Wenonah reps, more folks are opting to paddle these decked hybrids à-la-kayak.

Canoeroots' publisher Rapid Media is hosting Outdoor Retailer’s Paddle Zone, a hub for industry insiders at the event. Stay tuned for up to the minute product updates live from Salt Lake City. You’ll find more info on new and hot products in Rapid Media’s 2012 Paddlesports Buyer’s Guide, available to Canoeroots subscribers and on newsstands in November.
