Rivers flow exhilaratingly fast and soulfully slow. Paddlers often encounter both experiences on the same river a few hours apart. The only Northstar solo canoe with symmetrical rocker, the Phoenix offers an uncompromising hull design to deftly handle any water conditions, flat or fast.
Following the footsteps of legendary YellowStone/Wild Fire- Solo - NorthStar Phoenix will answer to the needs of most river- and allaround solo paddlers. If your paddling is more focused on more open and bigger waters you might like to look also for NorthStar NorthWind Solo
