Nucanoe Flint in 2024 | What has changed?

[@ColsenTaylorFishing]

great updates, the price drop just adds to the awesomeness!

[@thebeardedpaddler]

Great start to 2024 for Nucanoe

[@lexwaldez]

I like the colors. I like the changes, and I'm heading over to Rockford early this spring to get a demo on this and a new Eddyline for the wife. Here's to a fun summer!

[@thebeardedpaddler]

Heck yeah

[@marciel3054]

I've had my Flint for 2 years now with the EPS set up. It really is a great kayak. If I had any complaints, I would say I wish the seat design was a little different so you had some under seat storage. It doesn't leave much room for clearance under there since the frame goes across the bottom. Great review.

[@thebeardedpaddler]

Great feedback. I agree, but when you raise it up too much it really does sacrifice the stability

[@bobbyhogan9207]

NuCanoe is doing things right 👊 Here I go thinking about trading for one of those again 😎

[@TismFishing]

I’m going with a flint for 2024 I think, sold my old town last year and got a canoe….gotta fill the kayak hole this year through.

[@thebeardedpaddler]

Never a bad time to go with the Flint!

[@davidc4582]

Unbeatable river fishing kayak especially with the pod can just toss all junk in there and that’s really all you need

[@thebeardedpaddler]

The pod is amazing. I am filming a video on it today actually

[@davidc4582]

@@thebeardedpaddler I don’t even use a crate and still have space for full day trip and 4 rods not beating that on another kayak

[@aliathompson9166]

How is the stability? Especially with a dog on board

[@thebeardedpaddler]

Honestly will depend on the dog and the paddler. We have plenty of people floating them with dogs here

[@KevinLeeJones-fv4qi]

was the previous seat modified only from the factory to drop the center of gravity?; in other words, can you get the new lowered seat and slide it into place on an older model?; will the new seat knobs work on the old seat thread bolts?(same dia./pitch?)

[@thebeardedpaddler]

Great question, yes you can

[@Jrc4120]

Have you had a chance to paddle a 2024 model year Flint yet? I'm thinking of grabbing one, I already had a 2020 model and sold it, and always regretted it. I loved the Fusion seat in that one, a little worried the new low CG seat and the "recumbent" feature may not be as comfortable. Any input in that area? Thanks!!

[@thebeardedpaddler]

I have not. I'm looking forward to it. I think the lowered seating position is gold for rivers

[@Jrc4120]

Is the new recumbent position that different than the last version of the Fusion seat? Just hoping this seat feels the same as the old one to sit in, I think the lower position will be fine, just hoping it's the same comfort. Thank you for the reply, appreciate it!

[@FishingWithLiz]

So the Flint is a more nimble boat so to speak? Looking to add another kayak to complement the Unlimited.

[@thenugget7288]

I would wait and check out the 10ft unlimited being released in Feb

[@FishingWithLiz]

@@thenugget7288 oh wow. Yeah. I’ll wait. Thanks.

[@thebeardedpaddler]

It's faster (not as fast as the Pursuit) but one of the beat values for river and creek fishing

[@thenugget7288]

I'm super excited for the NuCanoe U10 (10ft Unlimited) being released in February.

[@thebeardedpaddler]

Same here. Looking forward to getting my hands on one

[@bjl3640]

I had the Pursuit a few years back and loved it, but too heavy and required a cart for me. Looking for a lighter weight option to bring the dog (50lbs) and get get quickly on the water and this is definitely looking like a good option with open space in bow and something that would still paddle well and NOT under 11’. Thoughts? Thanks and nice review!

[@thebeardedpaddler]

Unlimited 10. It's actually 10' 10" and it's going to fill that gap nicely I think

[@bjl3640]

Why the Unlimited 10 vs the Flint though? The Unlimited 10 is too heavy at 72lbs.

[@thebeardedpaddler]

@@bjl3640 better weight capacity and just under that 11 foot length. Just 9lbs heavier than the Flint. Bonafide SKF117 and the Liquidlogic Versa might be good options for you with a dog as well

[@bjl3640]

@@thebeardedpaddler Ok and thanks. Too heavy with the seat weight. Sounds like you’re not thinking the Flints a good option. 😃

[@thebeardedpaddler]

@@bjl3640 not at all. I thought you were looking for alternatives. I love the Flint personally

[@manny4491]

In Like Flint! LOL

[@thebeardedpaddler]

Nice!
