I swear I've seen that boat or one very similar at Palmers on the lower madawaska

Proud Dad, sweet ride...

The Electro has spent much time at Palmers. Some of the footage was taken there. It's a 3 year old design.

This boat is, I guess, the first and only whitewater canoe for the little ones, (5 and up). It's super stable, fast, dry and has training wheels!

getting young kids in to canoes and experience the fun and excitement will do much for the sport.

Great stuff Ian! I guess you built and designed that, right? Chapeau!

That's the boat you used as beer cooler at JimiCup, right?

TGG!

The Electro was indeed the Jimicup beer canoe. At the moment, it is a one off design. I hope to make it available to more kids somehow :D because, as you can see, it works rather well. It has been a perfect boat for Isaac and he has really developed quickly. I can't wait to see what next summer will bring!
