Hou Canoes
Hōu Canoes are Made in the UK and they have one simple aim; to provide great canoes at a great price.
Hōu says no to single use plastic: Hōu Canoes have announced that they are no longer packaging canoes in plastic as all of their UK deliveries come by canoe trailer. They estimate that they will save at least 3 tons of single use plastic over the next year alone.
Hōu brand ambassadors include Grant Dolier, Lyndsay Mcphee, Andy Oughton, Nigel Conway, Bill Mattos, Lina Patel, Tom and Anna Sibald, Adam Evans and Mike Ryder.
Hou Canoes Hou 14
The Hou Canoes Hou 14 is the bigger version of the Hou 13 model, it's a touch longer and has a higher load carrying capacity. It is also able to track a little quicker and in reality is a bit more of a multi-tasking boat. Its depth and longer length allow for a drier ride in the bouncy stuff and provide more forward speed than its little brother. This shape was designed as an all rounder as so it will paddle well on the open water, as well as on flat rivers too. Simply put, a fantastic 1/2 person boat.
Hou Canoes Hou Prospector
The Hou Canoes Hou Prospector is the ultimate all-rounder with a classic design. The Prospector was originally designed as a trading vessel, so had to paddle well on both open water lakes and white water rivers, it's also been designed to handle carrying a large load. This boat is a joy to paddle on lakes and rivers, and offers a dry, predictable ride whether you're solo or loaded up for a multi-day trip.
Hou Canoes Kneeling Mat
The Hou Canoes Kneeling Mat features a super grippy outer to minimise slipping and a 'soft knee' inner for added comfort. It will significantly increase your paddling efficiency, meaning you're less tired at the end of the day and can paddle further for the same energy output! There's also a small eyelet so you can tie it into the canoe for extra security if you wish.
