The Umiak 475 collapsible skin-on-frame canoe won the Paddle Expo Product of the Year Canoe Award for 2019. This canoe offers similar on-water performance to any hardshell boat and folds in one backpack. The Umiak 475 (475 cm) features an extremely rigid 7070 aluminum frame with seven bars and a highly durable PVC skin with incorporated inflatable sides, which give extra stiffness, buoyancy, and a perfect shallow arch hull.
The Nautiraid Umiak system won the 2019 Paddlesports Products of the Year Awards in the Canoe category at PADDLEexpo.
