NuCanoe
nucanoe.com
NuCanoe’s design philosophy can be snappily summed up as “more”: more comfort, more functionality, more paddlers. The Bellingham, Washington–based company’s virtually unsinkable dual-wall kayak/canoe hybrids are designed by sit-on-top guru Tim Niemier, a man whose motto is “a billion butts in boats.” That goal is expressed in unusually wide (42-inch), elevated floor plans boasting an excess of stability—enough to raise the seats off the deck, and plenty for standing. The result is a car-toppable craft offering big-boat comfort and the kind of confidence that appeals to a wide audience—even people who may not be as spry as they once were. Built in modular fashion for exceptional versatility, every NuCanoe offers multiple seating configurations—single, tandem or triple—and many ways to move it. Row, paddle with a single or dual blade, or add an electric trolling motor.—Paul Lebowitz

OOcean Kayak

Ocean Kayak was born on the beaches of Malibu in 1971 when a sculptor-turned-kayaker yearned to paddle, fish and dive beyond the breakers. Company founder Tim Niemier’s Scupper was a new sort of boat, a hybrid merging the best features of the sea kayak and the surfboard, an un- swampable and stable sit-on-top. Beachgoers snapped up those first handcrafted models as fast as Niemier could make them. “Even an idiot like me could do the math,” Niemier recalls, so the inventive waterman moved
shop to Washington State and invested in roto-molding machines that spin out a new ‘yak every hour. Before long his “paddles to the people” philosophy of building and designing easily accessible rides created an industry leader. Niemier sold Ocean Kayak to Johnson Outdoors in 1997, yet the company’s kayaks are as sandy
and salty as ever, uniformly sweet paddlers at home in the surf. Fishy too, with easily accessorized decks and some of the freshest thinking in the sport. The spirit of innovation lives on in OK’s latest purpose-built fishing kayaks, the Trident series, built around the unique elongated Rod Pod and fishfinder-sheltering Sonar Shield.—Paul Lebowitz
