Esquif Canyon T-Formex Canoe

Built to run big water with confidence
The Canyon's shallow-arch hull and 4½" of rocker at bow and stern give it the agility to carve through large rapids while staying predictable. Its high ends and depth shed water and keep descents dry even in heavy whitewater.
- Shallow-arch hull for stability and carving control
- 11.4 cm (4½") rocker at bow and stern for maneuverability
- High ends and 15½" depth shed waves for dry descents

Durable T-Formex construction for river abuse
Built from T-Formex, a laminated ABS foam core wrapped in a tough protective plastic skin, the Canyon absorbs impacts and slides over rock without cracking. It's the rugged choice for paddlers who push into demanding river terrain.
- Laminated ABS foam-core with protective plastic skin
- Impact-resistant and forgiving over rock
- Vinyl gunwales standard, wood gunwale option available

Haul a full load on extended trips
At 16'5" with a 1,000 lb carrying capacity, the Canyon swallows gear for multi-day expeditions while keeping a stable, balanced trim. Volume and depth make it the ultimate tripping canoe for the backcountry.
- 455 kg (1,000 lb) carrying capacity
- 16'5" length with 35" beam for load stability
- High volume for extended wilderness tripping

Comfortable to paddle, easy to carry
Webbed seats and a contoured yoke keep the Canyon comfortable on long days, while the contoured yoke makes portages between waterways manageable. A deep-dish yoke is available for paddlers who carry often.
- Webbed seats for all-day comfort
- Contoured yoke for balanced portaging
- Optional deep-dish yoke and wood trim

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.
