This small, responsive, solo hull will take you out on smaller rivers and streams, and bring your adventurous spirit back satisfied. It's a great choice for a first solo canoe. The Vagabond is highly maneuverable and quiet enough to track birds through the backwaters. Its small size makes it easy to car-top and carry, and convenient to store. Try paddling it with a kayak paddle. It's lighter than kayaks of similar length, and easily outperforms them.
