Hey all. So I have a dagger reflection 15 and I love it. I believe it's asym. It has a dedicated center seat which I had installed from eds canoes that doubles as a yoke. I sometimes paddle in the bow facing backwards and on my last paddle felt that tracked better. When in the center seat, it...

Currently, I have two canoes. A Nova Craft Fox Solo 14, and a royalex dagger reflection 15 Initially, I got the fox so I could solo and because I wanted something lighter and easier to carry. I really like the reflection 15. Great stability, goes fast enough for me, turns on a dime, tracks...

when planning a paddling trip, where do you draw the line with wind speed before opting not to go? I want another trip on my time off. Wind speeds for the upcoming weekend are listed at "up to 11 mph." It's a short paddle to camp, but I want to paddle around leisurely, also.

As some of you know I have a reflection 15. It has a dedicated center seat, slanted downward for said use when kneeling. While paddling tandem today and yesterday, I noticed it tracked better than it did in the solo seat. I do like how a skulling draw works in the center seat, but I'm not sure...

I'm taking a friend in my dagger reflection 15 after xmas. She's not a heavy person, nor am I. This will be my first experience going tandem in this boat with someone. I typically go solo. Are there any tips I need to consider when going tandem in this boat? It will be flat water 100%. I will...

So, I ordered a wet suit for winter paddling. I don't know much about them. Will this offer me any actual protection? A dry suit is out of my price range. If it doesn't offer protection, is it worth keeping at all for warmer months?

I'm blessed to have two boats. One is a 1994 royalex Dagger which is 59 lbs. The other is a Nova Craft Fox Solo 14 which is considerably lighter and easier to portage. I'm planning a flat water trip to either the adirondacks or eastern KY in the near future. There are pros and cons for each...

I have a lightweight solo canoe and a heavier tandem. A detachable yoke works well for the lighter solo, but doesn't want to attach as securely for the tandem. I was curious if there were more universally designed options for all canoes. The one I use tightens on the gunwhales at midship in a...

Hey all. So I have experimented with different techniques for car topping my tandem and solo. You may balk at some of them, but these have worked for me so far. I'm open to suggestions, however! From the rear of the car, I place a cheap heavy duty moving blanket I got from Lowes for about $20...

I am back home after a fantastic trip. My belly is full and my mind is clear. I wanted to recount this experience for you all. I was too busy to take pictures on this trip, also wanting to save my battery, I opted for this medium instead. Saturday morning: 8 AM. The car is packed. A quick...

I live in Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley. I've made many trips to Lake Moomaw, which I love. So, I need help with a possible destination (flat water) where I can camp and paddle. I'm chomping at the bit to do a canoe/ dispersed camping trip in other water bodies this month, as I have some...

Hey, all. I'm a bushcrafter/paddler from Virginia. I own a fox solo 14 and a 1994 royalex dagger reflection 15. I've been paddling with Dad since I could walk, but until this year didn't truly get into solo paddling. I'm looking forward to enjoying this great community and hoping I can be...
