Adult paddlers have different needs than younger athletes ...
Stability … as the body ages, muscles lose flexibility and can’t respond to external stimuli quite as readily.  This causes us to feel less stable in a canoe or kayak.  Furthermore, many adults train by themselves due to work & family commitments and safety considerations, including a stable boat, become important issues.

Boat Weight … many adults keep their boat at home and carry it on their car to training sessions and races.  A lighter boat means greater ease in lifting it on & off the car, and getting it down to the water.  And of course, a lighter boat is a priority for marathon racers.

Comfort … well designed seats & footrests, and a rigid construction, enable us to spend longer periods of time in the boat, whether it's training for an upcoming competition or enjoying a slower pace with friends or family.

Our boats are designed for speed & comfort.
They are light & functional, ideal for racing as well as fitness training!
