Special Adaptions for Disabled Kayaking/Canoeing

You will most likely need some adaptions to be comfortable and safe on the water. At the very least this will mean some kind of seat padding and inflation device to help place your legs into a secure position. Other than that no other adaptations are really needed for the average paraplegic. Quadriplegics can easily kayak with a few more adaptions. There are seating solutions to help support your upper body, and even assisted paddling devices if you have trouble with arm or hand strength. If you dont feel comfortable with balancing on the water then you can easily add floats to the side of the boat to make it near impossible to capsize at all.

Prosthetics

We have direct connections to adaptive device specialists to create prosthetics such as Arms, Legs, Hands and many other devices to add to the comfort of the experience.
