Extreme Performance Whitewater Canoe
The Outside inflatable canoe is a classic Grabner design. There is hardly a river on Earth that has yet to be conquered by the Outside. Decades of innovation and expertise went into making the Outside canoe the powerhouse that it is today. This boat can easily be packed into a bag that is easy to transport in a car or even by plane. Capable of withstanding class 5 rapids, this no-compromise canoe is ready to take on everything you can possibly imagine. Every adventure starts outdoors, so bring the boat that is named after it: The Outside.
Boat Capabilities
Grabner Outside
Not the right fit for you? Let’s find your perfect boat.
Outside Features & Innovations
The Outside is a beast of a canoe that really shines when the going gets tough. This 2-person white water raft is durable enough to last at least a decade or two of hard use. Simple to patch and hard to puncture makes for a confidence-inspiring boat that can tackle lakes, rivers, oceans and even the occasional (or frequent) waterfall!
Highly Maneuverable
The short waterline of the Outside makes this boat incredibly responsive to direction changes. The upturned bow and stern keep splashes out of the boat and prevent paddlers from getting caught in dangerous strainers.
Rigid Side Tubes
The rigid side tubes capped off with a bow-to-stern grommet rail allow paddlers to easily trim their weight in the boat for optimal performance. Put a seat anywhere you deem necessary and even add additional boards for extra passengers or for shifting weight on the fly.
Comfort and Safety
Inclined seat boards and a thin interior beam makes for comfortable kneeling. Paddlers are able to make proper hip contact with the boat providing for safe and secure boat control. Optional thigh belts can help keep paddlers tighter to the boat for safer passages.
In the event of a capsize the seat boards fold up and allow paddlers to exit the boat with ease. This feature makes sure you aren’t sacrificing comfort for safety!
Ready to Bail
In white water, the self-bailer evacuates any water that finds its way into the boat. You can roll it up and seal it when sitting still or in calm waters to prevent any unwanted water ingress.
