HOWB 158 – Interview | Small Boat Artist Rod Tait of Orca Canoes & Kayaks

Today’s podcast is an interview with Rod Tait of Orca Canoes and Kayaks in Coquitlam, BC. Rod builds small

strip built canoes, kayaks and other boats, sell kits, and rebuilds and refurbishes small boats.

Rod was raised in the province of British Columbia and when he was a young lad his folks purchased a small

fishing resort on coastal BC. Rod spent the next few years messing around in small wooden fishing boats and

helping his family run the resort. This was the beginning of his lifelong love for boats and boating – especially of

the wooden variety.
