A partner from the beginning, totally dedicated to the promotion of canoeing in France. Canoe Diffusion distributes Esquif canoes, a famous Canadian brand, but also PakCanoes and Triton folding canoes. This year again, he will propose nearly 20 models to test during the Festival! A big thank you to Pierre Orban / Canoe Diffusion for his support.
North America’s best canoes have always supported Europe’s best Festival ! The canoe manufacturer from Quebec contributes to the promotion of canoeing in France and Europe with an impressive range of 25 boats dedicated to all kind of paddling style : from calm water tripping to the wildest rivers, from family touring to the most remote expeditions.
"Creating gear for paddlers and water professionals since 1979, including clothing, equipment and accessories. Founded in Somerset by champion surf kayaker, Andy Knight. Designed and made in Great Britain and our factories in Asia – distributed worldwide."
It's a great pleasure to have Palm on board at the Open Canoe Festival. Famous British brand will provide fantastic prizes for the big prize lottery.
Located in the Czech Republic, this inflatable manufacturer is one of the few to produce kayaks in elastomer-coated fabric - Nitrilon (polyethylene chlorosulfone, the equivalent of Hypalon) - a coating similar to natural rubber, offering maximum watertightness, UV and abrasion resistance. In short, it's the choice for excellent longevity for your boats, and the ability to use them in "extreme" conditions: high temperatures, "abrasive" rivers. It it's not uncommon to see Gumotex models purchased in the the 80s still running rivers.
