The bottom is not pristine. The gunnels are aluminium. Luckily it is not as bad as the first bell fire I owned and refurbed. https://www.songofthepaddle.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=619973#p619973 That boat is still paddled weekly my gf.

Recently I did try to buy a wildfire. I failed. I guess I was to far from the unknown buyer and he could sell to someone more local. cahtting about it with a paddling buddy about it, he very generously offered his. I refused at firsth because i think he should paddle it more. After a week or...

Fit is imho the most important. Good fit is wearing it. I always hope a good shop is nearby so people can try lots. Especially on flatwater/ big lake paddling i like a flat slim front. So me does not hinder a selfrescue. A number of pfd's have a low thick foam that is a pita to get over the...

I would only buy if it was the only thing that i could buy to get me on the river. You have a nice fleet. I can not see many thongs the impulse can do better then the vertige.

The main question is a origninal echo or the 2.0 version.. Not sure of what jokes are local. I like the wenonah black cushions on them.

Sad to hear it does not work out. I am bad in numbers i guess you have looked at the bell/swift/colden starfire and hemlock eaglet? Each boat is a compromise. Some work better then others. Gettting the seatheight right is crucial.

It took a while betweent the first time paddling one and owning one. tlc wil be done this summer.

Pictures would be lovely, This sounds like both hulls have a place in the world. Found a bit here keep looking forward to see one in the flesh.

It sounds like you have first hand experiance and there is less primary stability.

Thanks for the write up. Hope you keep the spirit is this good way. And I hope the inplant recover. Next year I think your first paddle more enjoyable.

It looks good. I would love to have a spin in it. As far as i know only one of his boars has made it to europe;) Hope to see more pics of it and maybe even a vid with someone paddling it. Enjoy it

Cool, I did not know that.

It seems swift makes enough volume to know what can be done and have enough margins to have time to change their standard routines. Sadly for example savage river is still living in their black is beautifull fase. @ adk joe. The first paddle will be very rewarding after the wait. Is this...

Come to here. You can float and do day trips or longer for weeks on end.

Does kas transport drive in alaska as well? They know how to transport canoes;)) it takes time..

The nordwind is a great sensible boat. Enjoy the paddling for a decade or 2

I guess you know it is back in production at savage river ( or gbr newmann). There is a trhead somewhere here.

Clothing progressed. Pfd comfort progressed. Boat shapes seem to go in a to me wrong route. Most interetations of the same boat get more stable. I wish stability kept the same , and boats get faster or easier to manouvre or both. Finding good paddles seems getting more difficult. At least in...

Does anyone know a release date?
