Some common early signs of fatigue include dull muscle pain, difficulty concentrating, and back pain from poor posture. Dry mouth and thirst indicate fatigue-related dehydration. If your arms feel heavy or you are unintentionally slowing down, your body is likely in need of rest. Some symptoms that should cause alarm include dizziness, delirium, and blurred vision. If you experience these symptoms, cut your paddle short and head for shore.

The first step in spring canoe maintenance is to remove your canoe from storage and sweep out debris. Next, check hardware, especially metal. Remove rust, tighten bolts, and replace hardware as needed. Wash the interior, and inspect for damage. Flip your vessel and inspect for scratches, discoloration, and weather damage before applying a UV protectant. Inspect oars or paddles, seats, PFDs, and cushions, and replenish your first aid kit.

Razor’s Edge Pro series doesn’t just improve upon the inflatable kayak – it resets expectations. It trades the usual softness for a rigidity that comes surprisingly close to a hardshell, and swaps bulk for speed and precision on the water. The slim panel drop-stitch construction frees up more usable interior space, while setup is quick, pack-down quicker, and everything you need stows neatly into a wheeled travel bag.

This isn’t just a better inflatable – it’s a genuine paradigm shift.

The story of Making Waves for Autism begins with Tyler, a man deeply passionate about raising awareness for the autism community—a cause close to his heart as the father of a young son on the spectrum. Before his unexpected passing in August 2023, Tyler had been planning a charity boxing event to support Autism Canada.

To honor his memory and fulfill his unfinished mission, his cousin, Kim Inglis, took to the water. What started as a solo personal challenge—paddling 365 kilometers to represent the 365 days a year that autism affects families—has ignited a nationwide movement.
