The revolutionary Sportspal didn’t just happen by. A long process of development, experience, and good engineering produced a craft truly "Born of Canadian Waters". Since it’s humble beginnings in a small Northern Ontario garage, the Sportspal canoe has grown to become a Canadian icon. With continued hard work over the last 60 years to develop the canoe, it has now become one of Canada’s most recognizable watercraft which now has a global customer base.
- Lightweight: aluminum’s light weight means more GO with less PUSH. Canoes are easy to paddle, carry and handle better on car tops, towing and launching
- Durable: high tensile strength and stiffness means excellent hull integrity, long-lasting durability, and a high strength-to-weight ratio
- Impact resistant: the elasticity of the metal due to its 2.5% magnesium content reduces the chances of puncturing. Underwater objects frequently only dent rather than puncture the hull
- Aluminum: 5052 marine aluminum will not become brittle, delaminate, peel, waterlog, check, rot or swell. It assures uniform thickness of hull sections
