Hey Paddlers,
Some of you may recall the SmartTrack Rudder System that was introduced by Cascade Designs/SealLine around 2001. Well they sold it off in 2006 and it is now available with vast improvements and a price tag that is very reasonable!

SmartTrack features:
- Solid foot control through the Toe Pilot Foot Controls; they allow you to stay braced in the kayak while finessing the rudder.
- Nearly universal fit across kayaks on the market with an Blade Housing that is available in more than 6 different mounting options.
- Super efficient turns via the Foil Blade which offers greater turning power and less drag than most rudder blades on the market.
Improvements made to Smart Track in the past couple of years:
- New and improved aluminum rails on the Toe Pilot Controls! The super strong anodized aircraft aluminum is designed to prevent failure.
- Stronger Foot Pedals, Pedal Adjustment Bars, and Foil Blades made from UV resistant, fibre-filled nylon injection moulded materials.
I am very excited to see the system available to the public again; it will soon be in more kayak brands as OEM equipment.
