Clever See-Through Kayak and Canoe Designs



Someone told me there was a canoe in this picture ... but I have to admit I got distracted and did not see it right away. Regardless, the canoes are great but the kayaks are even better: they are light-weight, easy-to-collapse and therefore not only entertaining in the water but highly manageable on the shore compared to their conventional and opaque counterparts.

The only question is: what do you do when it gets dirty? Hopefully each dunk back in the water cleans it off. OK, one other question: what else can we make transparent? Cars, maybe even planes, or are the skies the limit in this case?
Glass-bottom boats are nothing new on scenic tours, but with a see-through canoe you can go wherever you want and have a personal up-close view of whatever is below you. Lighter than a wood or aluminum canoe, tough as bullet-proof glass and entirely transparent on the bottom, these designs provide a completely new way to experience water life around you.

Just saying, in certain circumstances you might not want a see-through canoe. Moving about up there, might make you look pretty tasty to a shark. He might be inclined to keep bumping your canoe to see if he can get you to fall out!

Great! Now the alligators will be able to figure out if overturning your watercraft is worth their trouble. Perhaps it will be useful in the ocean as well, as sharks can make their vertical attacks against your nicely silhouetted figure.

Sharks are sense and are attracted to the splashing around of people simulating an animal in distress. These must be really popular in New Zealand & Australia, it gives a great opportunity to sit and enjoy the sea life between your legs.

that's a kayak, not a canoe. you sit flat on the bottom in a kayak, and kneel or sit higher in a canoe. I like the idea but the person who designed it has never paddled one. its far too wide to be able to paddle comfortably.

I found it online elsewhere for $1400-$1600. I think the price might be a typo. Also, it's a kayak canoe hybrid. They have just a kayak, that takes 30 minutes to set up at the site, but folds small enough for your backback!

Beautiful! Until you see what scary creatures are lurking underneath you. XD
