Gift Ideas For Canoeing Enthusiasts by Jenny Gill
It is always very hard to find great gifts for anybody, but finding good 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 supports 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. So if you are buying gifts for a canoeing enthusiast, the above list is a good place to start, good luck shopping.
