Great to see Paxton enjoying himself. Hope it inspires more young ones to take up canoeing. Well done.

I didn't realize how responsive these lightweight canoes are...great demonstration. I think I need one now.

My giddiness for solo Canoes was definitely at its height after seeing my child have such cool breakthroughs. To me, a kayak sometimes feels like a typewriter and a solo canoe,feels like a paintbrush on canvas!

Nice work, beautiful canoe. Have you tried a kayak paddle?
@HappyPaddlin10 ай бұрын
I have used a kayak paddle in a solo canoe but prefer a canoe paddle for my solo canoeing. I am not a purist so whatever works for people and on a windy day with long miles I might be apt to use one. Sometimes I use a short canoe paddle in a kayak! It’s fun!

I didn’t get the weight of those canoes?

25 lbs for the trillium and ~40 for the IXP Firebird. I have the spec sheet here so you can see all options and weights: happypaddlin.com/northstar-canoes/

How is the color being produced in the IXP layup? Is it a layer, or a pigment in the resin of some type? If a fabric, does it add weight (and/or any extra strength to the already robust IXP)?
@HappyPaddlin7 ай бұрын
It's a layer of polyester cloth and pigmented resin. On tandems, it adds 4-5lbs, 2-3lbs on solo. Looks great in pics and that's where/why these mostly sell. Strength/abrasion resistance is minimally influenced by this. For my vids, I love the way they look so I like to have one around but the added weight is noticeable. I think the wood ixp emerald green is just a cool look so I ordered one this way.
