Their expertise with Kevlar, Carbon Fiber, and Innegra means every canoe is not only extremely light, but beautiful and durable too. In Canada, the canoe has been a theme in history and folklore, and is a symbol of Canadian identity. Some archaeologists doubt that oceanic transportation would have been possible without the use of sails as winds and currents would have carried the canoes off course.

The extra layers of fabric and gel-coat finish makes these boats slightly more resistant to damage than our Ultra-Light canoes as well. If you travel in Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area or Canada's Quetico Park, you'll see a lot of these canoes. Sprint canoe was a demonstration sport at the 1924 Paris Olympics and became an Olympic discipline at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Aramid, the fiber used for aerospace, body armor and bulletproof vests, is amazingly light and strong. [52], In ICF wildwater canoeing athletes paddle a course of class III to IV whitewater (using the international scale of river difficulty), passing over waves, holes and rocks of a natural riverbed in events lasting either 20–30 minutes ("Classic" races) or 2–3 minutes ("Sprint" races).

Tuf-weave® canoes offer improved impact resistance and are a great compromise between light weight, performance, and price. This fishing canoe also has a flat hull shape for superior balance out on the water and a rigid hard shell structure. Hull design must meet different, often conflicting, requirements for speed, carrying capacity, maneuverability, and stability[27] The canoe's hull speed can be calculated using the principles of ship resistance and propulsion.
