Hou Canoes; Crash Test Program.


Well sitting here in the office on a soggy Tuesday we have decided to add a Crash Test Program to what we offer. Why?

Hou put that there?? 
Well, from time to time, as you will know we all have the odd moment where sanity unwittingly leaves our minds and the result is that you have crashed your boat. This could be folding it round a rock on a particularly lumpy bit of river, it could be dropping it off the roof of the car because you thought you had a hold of it but the evidence is against you!

At times we have all done it, or better still, witnessed some one else do it! My particular favorite was a friend with a brand new Land Rover Discovery, it had the roof rails that ran from front to back. They ran up hill though due to the step in the roof on the Mk1 Discovery. Sadly he had not noticed this was a potential issue. The canoe was loaded and then he went to get the straps, only to see from a distance his boat perform an upside down seal launch off the front end of the roof rack and head straight for the tarmac making a large dent in the car bonnet on is way down. I am still unsure if the un named culprit was more concerned about his bonnet (which was a right off) or the fact his end deck had split in two, and the hull of his boat was damaged underneath that!

So for these 'unexpected moments' we would like to offer our Hou Canoes Crash Test Program. Simply put, if you crash your boat then drop us a line, tell us what happened, send us some pics and we will contact you directly to help sort it out at a preferential rate.

Hou Canoes,
The caring canoe company……………
