I'd be really interested to read some reviews from people that usually paddle Souris Rivers and try one of these.


I'd like that too. One thing about SR is that while they might not be the lightest, they are one of or the toughest canoe out there in Kevlar.

When I was on my spring trip, try as I might I put some serious abuse hull wise on that SR.
I was thinking about the QJ member who had posted he had bought a Carbon fiber canoe and would love to hear how he fared with that ultralight hull?

I know that the guys with those high-end canoes are usually "wet footers", but you can't do that when you have yds of rocks for a landing and then a steep drop-off without some serious acrobatics at the take-out/put-in.
