Gift Ideas for Canoeing Enthusiasts
Finding good Christmas gifts ideas is easy if you think about a
person's hobbies. If you are buying for person who enjoys
canoeing, here are a few ideas for canoeing gifts.
Canoeing Gifts
Canoeing is a sport that appears to require relatively small
amounts of equipment. In truth, it is much more than a paddle
and a canoe, which provides you with a lot of potential gift
ideas.
1. Yokes - This yoke has nothing to do with eggs. A yoke is a
device that hooks onto a canoe to make it easy to lug it around.
Typically made of wood, the yoke sites perpendicular to the
length of the canoe and is padded. Easily connected to the
canoe, the boat is typically flipped over to be carried by
putting the padded yoke on your shoulders. A godsend for getting
to and from the water as well as bypassing low water areas on
rivers. A yoke will set you back in the $20 to $60 range. The
Voyageur brand is a good place to start.
2. Handmade Wood Canvas Canoe - If you're looking for a big
ticket item, why not consider giving a handmade wood canvas
canoe as a gift? Unlike modern canoes, these wood canvas canoes
are made with painstaking care and incredible craftsmanship.
With beautiful lines and an air of grace, this is the ultimate
canoe for traditionalists. Since each one is handmade, you can
expect to pay a
pretty premium of $2,000 or more. If this sounds
like the perfect gift, take a look at Spencer Canoe Company in
Canada.
3. Back Supports - Sitting in a canoe for a few hours is not
easy on the lower back. Back support are curved devices that
create or support existing seating in the canoe. Back supports
are a must for weekend warriors who only canoe once every month
or so. It is hard to enjoy canoeing if your back is killing you!
Look for the Crazy Creek brand and expect to pay between $20 and
$30.
4. Nomad Paddle Sports Journals - A bit of self-promotion here.
Nomad Paddle Sports Journals are waterproof writing journals
that let canoers keep notes during and after their trips. Really
great for writing down impressions, routes taken, things seen,
people met, alternative routes to be tried in the future and so
on. You can click the link at the bottom of this article to see
the paddle sports journals which cost $8.99.
If you're buying gifts for a canoeing enthusiast, the above list
is a good place to start.
