Symatrees Cowl
It’s nearing the end of summer here in New England. While I look forward to all the vibrant and colorful leaves of autumn, I’ve found myself embracing time in the kayak ~ capturing the calm, and marveling at the ease with which trees change and mirror their reflection on the water. Symatrees Cowl is designed with symmetrical right and left cables, and appreciation for the many patterns nature shares with us.
