The new NEXT canoe/kayak hybrid from Old Town Canoes & Kayaks has won the “Gear Of The Year” award from 50 Campfires, The Camping Authority.
The Old Town NEXT is a light, single-seat, solo watercraft that integrates Old Town’s top canoe and kayak features from their 100+ years of paddlesport experience. It’s ideal for both single- and double-bladed paddles, with a low profile and pronounced tumblehome for easy, natural paddling. The NEXT 3-layer hull, renowned for its performance and durability, has a subtle rocker for straight, smooth tracking. It also features Old Town’s removable Element™ seating system for all-day comfort and performance.
50 Campfires is a leading resource within the outdoor industry for camping recipes, camp tips, gear reviews, locations and more. They will dedicate a full page to the Old Town NEXT in an upcoming edition of their digital magazine, as well as an editorial on why 50 Campfires believes the canoe-kayak hybrid deserved the award.
According to designers at Old Town, they developed the NEXT to meet the needs of a new generation of outdoor adventurers and fitness enthusiasts who are interested in easy, fun and personal experiences on the water.
