Adaptive Equipment
Scroll through our pages below to see the various pieces of adaptive equipment CRIS has to make our activities accessible.
CRIS maintains a large inventory of equipment and resources in order to be adaptive to any situation. We are continuously designing, constructing and altering existing equipment to provide comfortable access to the outdoors.
PADDLING
Tandem and single sea kayaks can be outfitted with a state-of-the art pontoons (outrigger system) that greatly increases the kayak’s stability.
The “One-Arm-Rigger” can be mounted to the front cockpit and functions as an assisted devise for novice paddlers or for those who need assistance with paddling.
For participants who don’t have the hand strength to grip a paddle, specially designed gripping gloves allow the paddle to be velcroed and the hand securely wrapped around the paddle to prevent sliding and loss of grip. We have several models to accommodate a variety of needs.
