The legend of Verlen Kruger is equaled only by the legend of his unmatched expedition canoes.  The Sea Wind is Verlen's exceptional decked solo canoe and we are proud to offer a  Sea Wind spray deck that combines the same, Aqualon Edge fabric that Verlen used with an updated, modernized body tunnel.  We offer the Sea Wind spray deck in blue, charcoal grey, forest green, and red.  If you select the option to include stainless steel snap buttons with your cover, we will attach the buttons to the cover (4 per side) and send a set of 8 stainless snap studs, rivets, and washers that you will need to install on your cockpit coaming.  Note that our spray covers do not come with the arched battens that connect to the Sea Wind cockpit coaming. If you no longer have the battens, we can sew four HDPE battens and tensioning straps into the underside of the deck.  The Modern Spray Tunnel Verlen's original spray tunnel design had two zippers on the front sides of the tunnel, a bungee draw cord around the top, and used the same marine-grade Aqualon Edge fabric as the deck. While it is a time tested design, it can be difficult to get out of in a capsize and the heavy weight fabric can be uncomfortable against the body.  We have updated the spray tunnel by combining the original Sea Wind spray deck  with the anatomic tunnels that we use on our Expedition canoe spray decks. The tunnels are fitted so that they contour over your knees and lap, include short battens to keep the lap section from inverting and collecting water, and roll away for warm days when you want the spray deck body, but don't want a tunnel around your torso. The modern tunnel also has a front seam secured with 2" Velcro that can be released quickly with a reinforced rip-tab, facilitating a quick exit in the event of a capsize.  We find the modern tunnel to be safer, more comfortable, and equally durable and sea worthy compared to the original.

Our padded, durable paddle cases are like Fort Knox for your canoe and kayak paddles. Made from a durable, breathable WeatherMax LT fabric exterior and padded with quilted polyester lining, these cases protect your paddles from more than the casual bumps and drops. Each case will hold two canoe paddles or one two-piece kayak paddle in compartments separated by a quilted and padded divider. If you don't mind your paddles sharing compartments, they'll hold four canoe paddles or two two-piece kayak paddles.  The cases have a convenient, balanced carrying handle, a secure Velcro closure, and hold paddles narrower than 11”. The case size indicates the longest paddle they will hold; if you have a 56" paddle, the 56" paddle case will comfortably protect it with a bit more than an inch to spare.Personally, we keep our primary and spare paddles for solo paddling in one of these cases and a second case with our tandem paddles in it.  Details: Shell:  WeatherMax LT Padding and lining: Quilted polyester  Trim:  Polyester binding Other: Velcro closure and webbing handle Note: If you want to keep your paddles safe from scratches and bumps in your car, but think that our padded paddle cases are more than you need, click here to learn about our lighter, premium polyester paddle socks.

Made from durable ripstop polyester and marine mesh, Paddle Pockets attach to the side of your hull with 1” adhesive Velcro and give you a place to park your canoe paddle blade. Combine them with one of our thwart Tether Tabs to secure the paddle shaft and you’ll be able to paddle and portage with securely housed paddles. The standard Paddle Pocket will hold paddles up to 8" wide, while the wide version will accept 9" blades. If you would like a replacement set of attachment strips or would like to use one Paddle Pocket in multiple boats, you can order additional 1" wide x 13" long adhesive loop velcro strips here. Note that adhesive Velcro is not a permanent installation and you can expect to replace it after a season or two. Using 3M Primer 94 improves the bond to semi-permanent. A permanent bond can be made with epoxy, but should be approached with consideration and care. Full installation and care instructions are in our Resources Library, here: Paddle Pocket Installation Instructions

A set of 13" long, 1" wide, Velcro-brand loop strips with 3M acrylic adhesive, cut-to-length for Paddle Pockets. These can replace a worn out set or be used to outfit additional canoes so that a single Paddle Pocket can be used in multiple boats.

After decades of living in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and parking outdoors in the Winter, we were sick of scraping ice and brushing snow off our windshields every time we wanted to go somewhere. So, we did something about it... The Snow Shield is a marine-grade exterior windshield cover that will get you to work or the ski hill faster and easier. SNOW SHIELDS ARE OUT OF SEASON UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2025. If you would like to place an advance bulk order for multiple Snow Shields before then, please contact us at hello@redleafdesigns.com.

PLEASE NOTE: The specialty manufacturer who made this fantastic rope for us has closed their doors after decades of production in North Carolina. We are limited to the stock on hand, which is just a few hundred feet of each size as of October 3, 2025. We are working to find a new manufacturing partner to make a new production run of rope to the same specifications for us, but have not yet found one.  _________________________  This solid-braid, floating, polypropylene rope is our favorite rope for canoe painter lines and sea kayak and canoe tow lines. It's fine, 100% multifilament polypropylene braid is soft in the hand, holds knots beautifully, and withstands the daily wear, tear, and abrasion that a working rope is exposed to. We carry this rope in 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch diameters and, personally, we find that the 1/4-inch diameter is perfect for our own use. If you're lining a heavy tandem or otherwise prefer a larger diameter rope for easier handling, consider getting the 3/8-inch diameter.  We are proud to have it made for us by a specialty manufacturer in North Carolina who meets the American Cordage Institutes standards for quality, safety, and ethical production practices.  900 pound tensile strength (1/4-inch); 1800 pound tensile strength (3/8-inch) 100% multifilament polypropylene (MFP) solid braid construction Floats UV-resistant Solid-pigment, non-dyed fibers resist fading and won’t bleed color Waterproof Mildew-resistant Low-stretch High-visibility safety orange color PRICING IS PER FOOT. All orders are cut in a single, continuous length with each end cut and sealed with a hot knife unless you tell us otherwise. If you would like multiple lengths, each cut and sealed, please place an order for the total length and leave a note at checkout telling us how you want the lengths divided. 

Solo Expedition Spray Decks Keep the lake out of your canoe when conditions turn serious. Custom-patterned to your hull. Made to order. Made to trust. An expedition spray deck has one job: let you push through the weather, waves, and wind that would otherwise end your day. That job demands a deck patterned to your specific hull — not a generic drape that pools water and lifts in crosswinds. Every RedLeaf solo expedition spray deck is built from your canoe's measurements, with anatomic cockpit tunnels that contour over your body and a quick-release front seam for safe exit in a capsize. Three-panel construction, marine-grade fabric, and 300D hex grid ripstop reinforcements at every high-wear point.

Spray Decks & Splash Covers Solo Canoe Splash Cover Light protection for the paddles that happen most. Most paddles aren't expeditions. They're early-morning fitness laps, after-work river runs, weekend lake crossings, and race-day warm-ups. The Splash Cover is built for exactly those paddles — lightweight, waterproof protection from sun, wind, paddle drips, and spray without the weight or complexity of a full expedition deck. Each cover is patterned to a specific solo canoe with coverage to match your paddling style — traditional coverage for single-blade paddling in seated or kneeling positions, pack coverage for Adirondack-style pack canoes paddled with floor mounted seats and double-blades, or custom coverage to match the exact way you use your canoe. Available as a bow-only cover or a bow-and-stern set. If your canoe isn't listed in the pattern library below, visit our Spray Deck Measurement Guide to get started — we'll add your boat to the library and build your cover. Made to order in our Michigan loft.

Our stern flags are made from 3-inch wide, highly UV-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester with a 10-inch long attachment loop made from 3/4-inch wide nylon webbing. They can be attached to a rudder, stern handle, carrying thwart, pad-eye, or anything else that the attachment loop will slip through.  Length Red vinyl-coated polyester: 3x30 inchesLength of attachment loop: 10-inch Total length: 40 inches

Tether Tabs are one of our secret weapons for ninja-like portages and clean, organized paddling. They'll securely hold painter lines, paddle shafts, fishing rods (and more!) to your boat's thwarts or end decks. The RedLeaf Gang typically have 4 on each of our canoes - a set at the bow and stern for our painter lines and another set on the mid-ship thwarts to hold the shafts of our paddles (combined with snug, blade-cradling Paddle Pockets for the win). They wrap around your thwarts with 1-1/2" Velcro and are held securely in place with a non-slip pad on the underside. The hold fast is a bungie-and-ball system that's easy to release with a quick tug on the 1" webbing release tab (witness the magic in our video below!). They easily fit on 2-1/2" wide wood thwarts and can be trimmed to snugly fit round aluminum thwarts, too. Own a scuppered, wooden end deck without a carrying thwart like those found on Northstar and Bell canoes? No worries! We make a special 1" wide version just for you.  

Protective Covers 45 years of hull-specific protection. Inherited from the Bag Lady. Updated for today. Patterned to your hull. Made to order. Made to last. Every canoe hull is different. Every Original Cover is, too. We pattern each one to a specific hull design from our library of hundreds of canoe patterns — not a generic size range — so it fits your boat's lines without highway flap, water pooling, or exposed sections wearing in the sun. The Original Cover has protected canoes for over 45 years, inheriting the proven Bag Lady design and building on it with current materials and construction. Choose between Premium Polyester for indoor storage and transport, or marine-grade WeatherMAX 3D for year-round outdoor protection. Both fabrics breathe, block more than 99% of UV light, and stretch just enough to follow your hull's contours without sagging or deforming. Your hull stays protected from UV degradation, road grit, bug damage, and strap rub. Your Kevlar stays yellow. Your gelcoat stays bright. Your resale value holds. It's a cover that pays for itself the first time you sell or trade a boat. Made to order in our Michigan loft. Shipped when it's right, not when it's fast.

Full-zip Sunbrella Marine protection for kayaks, surf skis, and outrigger canoes. The Ultimate Cover fully encloses your hull in Sunbrella Marine fabric with a full-length YKK #10 marine zipper. On in 60 seconds, solo. No wrestling, no stretching, no feeding 11 feet of bow into a sock. Lay the cover alongside your boat, set the hull inside, and zip it closed. Every Ultimate Cover is patterned to a specific hull design — your kayak, surf ski, or outrigger canoe, not a size range. The Sunbrella fabric is water-resistant, breathable, UV-blocking, and carries a 10-year warranty against fading and degradation. Built for year-round outdoor storage and highway transport. Welded stainless steel D-rings at bow and stern for tie-down. Three reinforced webbing handles for loading onto racks. Reinforced seams throughout. Everything specified for a cover that lives outdoors on a boat that goes places. Made to order in our Michigan loft. Shipped when it's right, not when it's fast. We created the Ultimate Cover because Jeremy was tired of wrestling the front 11 feet of his 21-foot surf skis into a stretch-fit cover after long training paddles. He wanted a full-zip, non-stretch option that was faster and easier to put on. We've since replaced every stretch-fit cover on our own kayaks, surf skis, and outrigger canoes with Ultimate Covers.
