NOVA CRAFT CANOE
Fox Blue Steel
Nova Craft’s Fox is an ideal choice for solo paddlers looking
for adventures on flatwater lakes and lazy rivers. At 14 feet, the Fox is a perfect size for a relaxing evening paddle
around the lake but large enough to accommodate gear for a weeklong trip in the backcountry. The efficient design
will help you cover distance with ease while its shallower depth catches less wind.

NOVA CRAFT CANOE
PAL TuffStuff
The PAL has universal appeal and is a great
general purpose craft for paddlers who want a canoe that does it all well. Nicely suited for flatwater trips and short
outings for sightseeing or fishing, the PAL handles rough water well and feels comfortable in windy conditions. Indeed,
it is a pleasure to paddle either tandem or solo. Once you paddle one, you’ll know why Nova Craft calls it the PAL.

NOVA CRAFT CANOE
Prospector 15 TuffStuff
The Prospector 15 is a scaled-down version of the larger Prospectors that are faithful to the original lines in every
way. You get all the great handling features that make the Prospector a paddling legend, in a package that’s a bit
smaller and more responsive. The P15 is an ideal choice for paddlers who want a tripping boat but don’t need the
extra volume. Its extra responsiveness also makes the P15 a fun tandem playboat.

LAKEWATER & TOURING
ESQUIF
Echo
With great glide, tracking and secondary stability, the Echo is a fantastic canoe for flatwater solo adventures. “The
Echo is a canoe I can dance with on flatwater or take down class II rivers or on overnight trips,” said Karen Knight
when Esquif asked the national champion what made the Echo so special. Molded in a lightweight T-Formex sheet,
the Echo is easily handled on and off the water.

Paramount 16-6
The Paramount 16-6 is designed for the intermediate to advanced paddler. With an appropriate
capacity for week-long tandem tripping, the Paramount is efficient in both stature and performance.
Due to its asymmetrical design and fine lines, its low surface area can be made lighter in weight than
traditional 16.5-foot canoes. Your paddling adventures will be enhanced and skills developed in the Paramount 16-6.
