It has all the performance features you will need to tackle exciting sections of river, whether you are paddling solo or tandem, yet there is still enough room for your camping equipment.

I bought a Pocket Canyon last season and am having a lot of fun paddling tandem whitewater with it. I paddled it solo last summer on the S. Nahanni River Moose Ponds section and it handled everything beautifully. I love this boat!!

The Pocket Canyon does exactly what I need in a canoe. I picked it because it has lots of rocker, (4 inches), and because of it's length. At (14.5 feet), it handles serious white water and tracks well on the flat stuff too. The result is an extremely agile boat that is incredibly maneuverable, yet it's well suited for multi day trips in all sorts of water conditions. This is hard to find in a boat, one that does both, & does them well. Its real secret is in it's length. That's why it tracks as well as it does. It's also 16 inches deep, helping keep it dry inside. Freestyle canoeing is really fun in this boat. I'd recommend it to any one who is serious about seeking adventure in a canoe, and looking to increase their skill level. -Theron Mccollough
