Conveniently Compact Canoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Stakanoo by Stuart Woodward Allows for Maximum Portability

— July 17, 2013 — Lifestyle
Taking a small water vessel with you to the cottage or on a camping trip means strapping it to the roof of the vehicle, which in turn can decrease the aerodynamics of your car and lead to other potential problems. The Stakanoo by Stuart Woodward looks to eliminate these features by offering the functionality of being able to break down the vessel into several manageable pieces that can stack into one another.

The Stakanoo by Stuart Woodward is dramatically lighter than traditional boats and can be easily transported in a trunk or backseat as opposed to the roof. The hybrid style of the Stakanoo by Stuart Woodward allows it to operate as a vessel that isn’t quite a canoe and not quite a kayak, but still ready for leisure cruising or a portage.
Trend Themes
1. Compact Water Vessels - The trend of compact water vessels allows for maximum portability and convenience, reducing the need for strapping them to vehicle roofs.
2. Modular Design - The trend towards modular design in water vessels provides the opportunity for easy disassembly and compact storage, enhancing transportation convenience.
3. Hybrid Water Vessels - The trend of hybrid water vessels combines the benefits of canoes and kayaks, offering a versatile option for leisure cruising or portage.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - The outdoor recreation industry can capitalize on the trend of compact water vessels by offering portable and lightweight products for camping and cottage trips.
2. Transportation - The transportation industry can explore opportunities to enhance vehicle aerodynamics and address potential problems related to strapping water vessels to the roof.
3. Water Sports Equipment - The water sports equipment industry can cater to the demand for hybrid water vessels, providing customers with versatile options for various water activities.
