This is a vintage aluminum canoe. It's likely from the mid-1970's, which makes her the oldest working team member. These aluminum canoes are tough and stable. Springbok and Grumman were heavily involved in manufacturing aircraft during world war two-- after the war these companies turned their innovative technology towards canoe manufacturing (allied forces didn't need as many planes...).
Supply chains have been crushed-- so this is our way of expanding the fleet to meed the large demand we're experiencing this summer. These boats are rented at a lower price point and for a maximum of 2 hours.
Legend has it, these boats have been to Keji so many times they know their way around!
