The extremely light canoe that paddles like a kayak
I’m a petite paddler who now has to watch the weight I handle. I was astonished at how light this pack canoe is! I can carry and load this canoe myself, giving me freedom to go when and where I want. The cruiser paddles and tracks very well and turns as easily as a kayak. It’s designed to paddle like a kayak with a very comfortable and supportive seat built into the centre, along with good quality foot rests. I love this boat and would highly recommend it! Happy paddling!
