North Water Knee Pads & Side Wedges (Pair)

Good outfitting is what separates a boat you paddle from a boat you wear, and that connection starts at your knees.

The North Water Knee Pads and Side Wedges work together to give canoeists a firm, comfortable contact point with the hull, improving energy transfer with every stroke and brace. When your knees and thighs are properly supported and in consistent contact with the boat, your edging becomes more precise, your braces more reliable, and your overall control noticeably better. It's the kind of outfitting upgrade that experienced paddlers notice immediately and beginners wonder why they waited on.

The knee pads taper from 1-1/2" down to 1" across a 7-3/4" x 6-7/8" base, contouring to the natural shape of the hull floor and keeping your knees planted without pressure points. The side wedges run the same footprint but taper from 2-1/2", filling the gap between your thigh and the hull sides to create that locked-in feel that makes a real difference in moving water or on edge. Both are sold as a pair, so you have everything needed to outfit both sides of the boat.

For whitewater canoeists, trippers, and anyone spending long days on Canadian rivers and lakes, proper knee and thigh contact is foundational to comfort and boat control.
