I like these a lot. They came on the Solo 14 that I bought used years ago. I could just make them, but it would be nice if I didn't have to. I don't see them anywhere.

Anybody know where I can find these knee pads?

But when I went to order them, it appears they don't ship outside of Canada.

That may have always been their policy or it could be because of the current Trump Tariff issues.
If anyone who is in the US and wants to buy something from Canada you should do it FAST because the US$800 de minimis exemption is going away in 3 weeks. This means that anything you import from Canada (or any country) will be subject to Duty. In addition to the duty formal customs entries will be required and those add to the cost and complexity of the situation.
Goods actually made in Canada that qualify under the Canada US & Mexico trade agreement will still be duty free (at least until 2027) but establishing Country Of Origin for something like knee pads will be difficult (it's quite possible those knee pads are actually made outside of the Canada or USA).
One other suggestion, if you have any access to a band saw you can make your own custom knee cups from a block of microcell. This would enable you to make cups which are the exact size and shape that will perfectly fit your boat and your knees.
I once tried to make knee cups by hand, it's didn't work well but I've seen homemade ones utilizing a band saw that were very nice.
I might be able to get by with the smaller NRS pads. But if that's the case, I can certainly do it cheaper with a couple yoga blocks and the band saw.
