Canadian Board Co Canada Day Cottage Setup Shortlist for 2026

Canada Day falls on Wednesday, July 1 this year, and the long weekend leading into it is when Canadian cottage country actually opens for real. Canadian Board Co, the Kelowna-based husband-and-wife family business, has released its 2026 Canadian-made cottage setup shortlist ahead of the long weekend.

The shortlist covers the four product pillars Canadian Board Co stocks for its Canada-wide customer base: inflatable docks, paddleboards, inflatable boats, and electric outboard motors. The common thread is that every product is built for Canadian lake conditions, sized for the kind of cottage setup that gets used three months of the year and stored in a shed for the other nine, and shipped from a Canadian warehouse with a Canadian return address and a Canadian phone number on the support line.

Canadian Board Co is a 100% Canadian-owned, husband-and-wife family business based in Kelowna, British Columbia, run by Jaeger Johnson and Tarryn Johnson. The company is a dealer and distributor for POP Board Co paddleboards and inflatable docks and for Rover Marine inflatable boats. Both POP Board Co and Rover Marine were founded by Nick Lanfranco. Canadian Board Co handles the Canadian distribution and the Canadian customer experience.

“Canada Day weekend is when the brand is the most honest with itself,” said Tarryn Johnson, who runs Canadian Board Co with her husband Jaeger Johnson. “We sell Canadian customers Canadian-side warehoused product on a Canadian phone line, and the week before July 1 is when that matters the most. You are not waiting for a box from somewhere else. You are getting it from Kelowna.”

The 2026 Canada Day setup shortlist

For the family that hosts: the 8’ POPUP Dock at $899 CAD on sale (regular $1,199) or the 14’ POPUP AquaDock at $1,399 CAD on sale (regular $1,599). Inflatable platforms that pack into a duffel after the season, eliminate the contractor install, and survive the ice cycle that defines Canadian waterfront ownership.

For the family that paddles: the POP Board Co and Ionic paddleboards. The 11’6 El Capitan at $899 CAD on sale (regular $1,199). The Ionic Adventure Ark 11’6 at $1,199 CAD on sale (regular $1,599). Every board ships with paddle, pump, fin, leash, and roller backpack, and is backed by the Canadian Board Co 60-Day Rider’s Guarantee.

For the angler: the Rover Marine Battle Boat (single-hull V-keel inflatable) and Battle Cat (twin-hull catamaran), available in 8 ft, 10 ft, and 12 ft sizes priced at $2,999, $3,249, and $3,499 CAD respectively. Inflatable fishing boats that fit in the back of an SUV and accept electric or gas outboards. The 5-year seam warranty is published on canadianboardco.com.

For the lake that has gone electric-only: the Torqeedo and ePropulsion electric outboard motors, sized to pair with the Rover Marine hulls and other compatible inflatables. The collection is open at canadianboardco.com.
