    Swift Cruiser 16.8 - First Impressions Video

    I have yet to try a double blade in my 16.8. My go to paddle for this boat right now is a 52" ZRE Revolution Lite bent shaft paddle. I do have a Werner 240 Kalliste which I always have with me when on a trip. I also have a custom Foxworx 255 cm double blade (Pictured below) with a narrow...

    Swift Cruiser 15.8

    Bill lent me a Cruiser 15.8 pack with the seat an inch higher to make it easier to single blade and it also had the carbon foot bar. I wound up ordering the 16.8 solo with sliding bucket seat and integrated sliding foot bar. I absolutely love the boat both the 15.8 and 16.8.... IMO you cannot...

    WTB: MR Duck Hunter, Malecite, or Indy

    There is a beautiful MR Indy located in CT. Definitely further than you wanted but I'm sure it can get relayed. Best of luck to you! https://www.facebook.com/share/1BFPbC1FnR/

    New Swift Cirrus 14.6

    Glenn I feel as Swift can pretty much do whatever the customer wants or at least it feels that way to me. With so many varying options now their website does not reflect it. Back in June 2025 Bill and I started the process while we were at Canoe & Kayak Sales in Portlandville, NY. I changed my...

    New Swift Cirrus 14.6

    Last Friday I took delivery of a 2026 Swift Cirrus 14.6 in carbon fusion with the crimson tint, matching float tanks, carbon foot bar and basalt innegra interior. The boat weighs in at 27.2#'s.

    OK...How about the Wenonah Wilderness solo?

    To be fair I have never paddled a Wilderness but know others who do and really love it. Winter needs to go away🤣
