Transporting a traditional canoe often means strapping it to the top of your car, but the 'MyCanoe' folding canoe boat aims to change this with a design that's impossibly compact. When not in use, the 'MyCanoe' canoe is capable of being folded down into a compact size that can be carried in the accompanying carrying case. This is thanks the origami design of the 'MyCanoe' that is made possible thanks to the durable double-layer UV-treated polypropylene.
The 'MyCanoe' folding canoe boat is capable of carrying up to two passengers and can be made ready for the water in just 10-minutes flat. The 'MyCanoe' weighs in at a total of 52-pounds and is capable of holding a combined weight of up to 440-pounds.
