    Some recent thoughts on solo canoe vs. touring kayak.

    Blacklite is a tuff layup but these battlescars are for many not something to look at. It depends on many factors if one boatis really more suitable then an other. On many occasion in this never ending debate i think about all the different craft that have succssfully run the grand...

    For flat water, there are many other options that would likely perform better and with lighter weight layups. There are but not that many in this pricerange. This is about a third or less from a swift or halve of a wenonah to name a couple. And when i look what is currently on the European...
