Up on the website now: https://swiftcanoe.com/boat/cirrus-14-6/ I am very very sad this is replacing the WildFIRE in the lineup (hopefully they will still make one for me), but I am curious how the two will stack up to each other. The Cirrus is slightly longer and slightly taller - so perhaps a...

I wish they would make more - the chanel has been dormant for a while, however the creaters are quick to respond if you ask a question. This channel inspires me to do more with my Camper to be sure - I plan on making a pedestal seat this spring to use the Camper on the George Washington Canal...

One of my favorites hands down. Her route ideas are great for flat-water trips, and her meal planning is exemplary - WAY WAY better than anything I have done!

Cool setup! Is that a Charles River?

In case it's not obvious - I am stressing about my RockSTAR dilemma on nearly an hourly basis! :ROFLMAO::LOL: I just found a Royalex RockSTAR that I can grab - and am curious if anyone has any experience in both? I'm sure the Royalex version will be less efficient to paddle (as are most Royalex...

This is great stuff - thanks!

Anyone have experience lining with a tied-on harness? I am debating adding a lining-hole set up with PVC before doing the Big Salmon and potentially the Missinaibi this summer if I keep my RockSTAR, but have also thought about just using harnesses around the carrying handles fore and aft. Not...

Thought I would revive an old thread (yet again) to air my thoughts about the RockSTAR. I am very torn about it at the moment, and keep vacillating back and forth between keeping and trading. I will say that paddling the RockSTAR has been fantastic; it is quite deep in the midship, making for...

Any idea which models??

I paddled a StarFIRE this summer for a couple of weeks and sadly found it very underwhelming. It was particularly depressing to me as I LOVE LOVE LOVE the WildFIRE and I have a FlashFIRE - but the StarFIRE, while very stable in rapids, felt to me more like paddling a prospector - it was hard to...

The DF15 is sounding more and more like my RockSTAR. I find the RockSTAR plenty playful, however I have yet to paddle it loaded. It's quick to heel which I enjoy, and locks up once you get on the shoulder. I think the real comparison / competition in this category is between DF15, RockSTAR, and...

Somewhere I read that this design was spurred by the interest of Algonquin Outfitters, so I am guessing there must be some rental need for such a canoe. I believe that outfitter is owned by Bill's brother, so I imagine they have quite a bit of sway - but it still must be pretty legitimate to go...

Not a boat for me - but interesting to see a new Swift tandem when there's been so much focus on solos recently... https://swiftcanoe.com/boat/lavieille-17-6/

I took a double-blade and a single-blade to Algonquin once a couple of years ago - and found things a bit of a PITA to deal with on portages. The collapsible double-blade breaks down to what amounts to two paddles on a portage, so you have to deal with three. I usually bungee my paddles in the...

Oops - I should have read the article before asking - September 25-28, 2025!

Do you anticipate a return of the event next year?

Oh I'll totally take you up on that if I'm up that way! The RX WildFIRE is a bit different than the composite version I love so much, but is probably perfect for a rocky river. They're both a bit shallow for class 3 I think however - the SRT, RockSTAR, and D-fly 15 will undoubtedly give a much...

The WildFIRE is GREAT - just not sure it's quite up for the same mission as the SRT and RockSTAR. The volume isn't dissimilar to the Merlin which I overloaded for a month-long trip down the Yukon (although I admittedly over packed a bit without portages). Both the SRT and RockSTAR will handle...

I really want to love the Phoenix more than I do. The WildFIRE is my number one absolute favorite canoe, but for some reason my short stint in the Phoenix was less than inspiring. But I do need to give it a truly dedicated shot. It just seemed so less willing to turn than does the WildFIRE...

I am surprised they chose that name for the reasons you mention. The D-fly 15 specs seem far more aligned with the SRT, essentially a DY design to meet the same market as the SRT...
