Vancouver’s outdoor enthusiasts will be given a chance to interact with the designers, learn more about the design, and test-paddle the product – recently showcased at San Francisco’s prestigious Museum of Modern Art – for the first time in Canada. The boats are simple to set up and easy to transport and store, which makes them perfect for Vancouverites looking to get on the water more.
