Made to Fit

Lack of control is the most common issue encountered by small frame paddlers using ill-proportioned canoes. The iTi is designed to solve this problem. The waterline of the iTi is optimized for smaller frame paddlers giving them back control of their boat rather than slipping around on a bump or having too much windage on a canoe that floats too high. Additionally, the seating height and gunwales are lower than on typical V1s, allowing the paddler easy change-overs and the ability to reach the water with their leg on hard turns. With the iTi, turning around a buoy is an easy task - gone are the days of losing a race due to poor turns on an ill fitted V1.

Standard model for customization, Pro model for weight

The iTi comes in two versions: Standard and Pro. Standard iTi allow more freedom for personalization while Pros are made as light as possible.

STANDARD

In designing a Standard iTi you can choose from 16 colors for the hull, ama, and logos in any combination you'd like. And you can add customizations, like a deck-hull split, a colored cockpit, graphics from our catalog, or ones of your own. Standard iTi also come with fitted dust covers for the hull, ama, and iakos.

PRO

iTi Pros are lighter than Standards by an average of 1.5lbs|0.7kg. The layups are essentially the same - almost all of the weight reduction comes from limiting the amount of paint used and sanding what there down to a thin layer. This gives Pro models a distinctive sanded-through look. Because of this, iTi Pro hulls can only be 5 colors (Pro Grey, Pro White, Pro Blue, Pro Green, and Pro Yellow) and hull customization options are limited to coloring the cockpit and logos. However, the ama can be any color and, unlike standard models, so can the iakos. iTi Pros also come with thicker, UV-resistant fitted marine canvas covers for protection from long-term outdoor exposure.

Adjustable foot brace and seat

Both the foot brace and seat can be adjusted, accommodating paddlers up to 5'9" (175cm). Both can be moved on the fly, allowing paddlers of dramatically different heights - like parents and kids - to share a canoe. And paddlers can change the balance of their canoe by moving both forward or back, to adapt to conditions. Plus, the seat is solid EVA foam, making it comfortable even on long paddles.


Easy rig iako system

The iako rigging system is completely new. It is snap-in like the FAI 3Xsi but there are no external push pin holes. Instead, you twist the iako to adjust or remove it. That mean no fiddling with hard-to-press pins, and you can remove a iako with just one hand.



Outriggerzone construction

The iTi is a one-piece, or monocoque, V1. Outriggerzone canoes like the iTi are unique in being built as a single, seamless piece, reducing weight and eliminating weak points like glue lines. The iTi is also special among V1s in being made with prepreg carbon fiber, which has high-tempature-curing resin impregnated into it. This allows us to carefully control the weight added by resin, eliminate dilutents, and deliver a canoe that doesn't deform over time.
