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

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.  

Spend more time in your canoe while enjoying the luxury of a plush and comfortable seat pad. Two sizes to fit almost any caned or woven canoe seat. Ideal for: Covering more miles Staying comfortable in the boat during long days Epic adventures

Low-profile Daisy Chains are a great way to secure or tether gear in your canoe, offering increased stability and preventing items from shifting in rough water or during a capsize. We often combine them with our Cargo Ladders to hold down portage packs and barrels, but they're also fantastic for floatation air bags, smaller gear dry bags, coolers, and anything else that you need to secure.  The webbing loops are soft and collapsible, preventing damage to gear and feet, but also strong enough to withstand the most demanding expeditions and adventures.  They're easily installed with vinyl-compatible adhesives (we recommend HH-66 vinyl adhesive for composite, T-formex, and Royalex canoes) and don't require drilling or hardware. 

NOTE: Currently out of stock and taking orders for a production run of 50 sets of foot straps with a shipping date of April 3, 2026. Marathon racers have known this secret for decades. Now you do too. A proper foot connection to the hull changes everything — your drive, your rotation, your boat control, your ability to move a canoe the way it's meant to move. It's one of the highest-return outfitting upgrades you can make to a canoe paddle sit-and-switch with a foot bar. Most foot straps on the market are an afterthought — a strip of one-inch webbing stretched across a bar and called a solution. Ours aren't. RedLeaf foot straps are 1.5 inches wide, padded with neoprene for all-day comfort, and adjustable via 1.5-inch hook-and-loop so they fit bare feet, neoprene socks, or paddling shoes without compromise. They clamp to aluminum or carbon foot bars with included stainless steel hardware — no improvising, no workarounds. Install them once and paddle better from that day forward. The result is a positive, responsive connection between your body and your hull. Better drive. Better rotation. Better boat handling. The kind of difference you feel the first time you take a stroke. Available in two configurations: Standard — fits most solo and tandem canoes. C1 — designed for narrow, USCA-spec C1s.
