OC2 CANOES - SHARING IS CARING
There’s something special about finding your rhythm with another paddler. The OC2 brings that to life—two people, one heartbeat, one glide. It combines the speed and precision of an OC1 with the shared focus of a team effort.
When both paddlers sync perfectly, the canoe lifts, lightens, and runs effortlessly. It’s a feeling of unity that few other boats can offer. Whether you’re training with a partner, racing together, or simply sharing the water, the OC2 builds connection through motion.
Why paddlers choose OC2
It’s fun, fast, and incredibly rewarding. You feel every adjustment your partner makes, matching cadence and timing until the boat feels like an extension of both of you. The OC2 is stable enough to learn in and dynamic enough to perform in surf or flat conditions.
It’s also one of the best tools for improving your technique—because every stroke affects someone else’s ride. It keeps you accountable, focused, and fully present.

Why it's worth it
An OC2 is the bridge between solo and team paddling. It deepens your technique, builds trust, and delivers unmatched shared stoke. These canoes are engineered to last, built with advanced composites that keep them light and strong for years of water time.
It’s more than a purchase—it’s a partnership.
