AUTHOR & EXPLORER
When I'm setting off on a long solo expedition, it's Nova Craft's 15 foot Prospector that is my first choice for such a journey. I’ve paddled Nova Craft’s Prospector 15 in the TuffStuff Expedition layup in some of the toughest, most challenging conditions imaginable and it has held up in all of them. My Prospector manages to be both amazingly tough and durable, able to withstand grinding over ice and rocks, yet remarkably light and maneuverable when I need to portage for miles with no trails. If there’s a better expedition canoe, I’ve never heard of it.

- TuffStuff is a cutting edge proprietary composite made of basalt and Innegra fibers. Basalt fibre is made of melted basalt rock and Innegra is a fibre consisting mostly of polypropylene. When they are woven together into a cloth and infused with our high impact vinylester resin system, the result is simply amazing! TuffStuff canoes are a great choice for paddlers looking for a light canoe for extended flatwater tripping with more than enough strength to handle lots of abuse in the back country.
