MAD RIVER CANOES

We offer both Mad River Journey 156 and 167 canoes. Mad River’s founder and designer, Jim Henry, crafted the Journey models to provide extreme stability without sacrificing any performance.

The Journey 156 is made out of Triple Tough polyethylene providing a tough canoe that glides easily, tracks and turns with balance and reassuring stability. Our 156 canoes are perfect two-seater canoes for those looking to enjoy an afternoon on the water for a paddle or some fishing. The 156 measures 15’6” in length, has a max cargo load of 1100 lbs and an average unladen weight of 83 lbs.

The Journey 167 is as versatile of canoe as the 156. It offers the same durable design for adventurers, sportsmen, and families or any combination thereof. The biggest difference is the Journey 167 is more spacious than the 156, while still providing stability and versatility you expect. It provides more capacity/storage area than the 156 which is suitable for longer trips on bigger water with bigger loads. The 167 still paddles very well when unloaded. The 167 has a third seat that would be perfect for a small youth, thus allowing a small family to get out on the water together. The 167 is slightly larger and slightly heavier. The 167 measures 16’7″ in length, an average unladen weight of 88 lbs, has the same max cargo load of 1100 lbs.

HI FIVE

We introduced the Perception Hi Five youth kayak for our 2020 season and have been extremely pleased with the feedback we received from our customers. The Hi Five is the ultimate kids’ watercraft. It offers unique features like a swim-up deck for easy mounting in the water. The Perception Hi Five is more than just a sit on top kayak and is designed to easily change over to a youth SUP. The Hi Five provides ample standing surface, paddle rest, a ready-to-go Solo Mount accessory recess, and easy to carry handles. It is sure to provide hours of enjoyment on the water.

JOYRIDE

We also added the Joyride model for our 2020 season. The Joyride is a 12′ single person kayak and is designed with the “modern” paddler in mind. It comes equipped with a convenient dashboard with Solo Mount accessory compatibility and the patent-pending Selfie Slot™. Yes, a Selfie Slot™, which provides a way to stage your smart phone and capture/share the best of your on-water moments with friends and family. The Joyride can hold up to 350 lbs and has an average unladen weight of 54 lbs.

TANDEMS

We also offer tandem kayaks from Perception. These are more economical as you can get two paddlers on the water for a faction of the cost. Our tandems have a capacity of 550 lbs and have an average unladen weight of 71 lbs.

BOARDWORKS SUP

RIPTIDE

The Riptide SUP comes in two sizes and is offered in both the 10’6″ and 11’6″ boards. The Riptide is made with Boardworks’ exclusive Bombshell construction, the industry’s strongest construction. It is a great “do it all” paddle board; it can take a beating and is stable enough to accommodate all sizes of paddlers and pets. The Riptide creates a stable, forgiving platform – giving you confidence that your paddle time will be spent on top of and not in the water. The Riptide is sure to provide fun for you and versatile enough to get the entire family enjoying hours of time on the water. The 10’6″ is designed for smaller, lighter paddlers, while the 11’6″ is designed for larger, heavier paddlers.

The Riptide has a max weight capacity of 225 lbs for Novice paddlers, 250 lbs for intermediate paddlers, and 275 lbs for advanced paddlers.

GREAT BEAR

The Great Bear is the ultimate touring and expedition board, created for long or middle distance paddles in calm or open water conditions. Designed to work equally well in flat water or cut through heavy chop and wind, the revolutionary bow and hull shape creates glide and tracking that performs better than any board in this category. At 29” wide the Great Bear creates a fast yet stable platform giving you confidence under load and keeping you from tiring on those longer expeditions. The Great Bear is truly the ultimate touring board for exploring the local waterways. With stability, speed and the space to carry as much gear as needed, the Great Bear will take you anywhere you want to go.

The Great Bear is designed for the heaviest of paddlers and has a max weight capacity of 290 lbs for novice paddlers, 315 lbs for intermediate paddlers, and 330 lbs for advanced paddlers.
