I love canoeing, really just love it. And it's been my ambition for YEARS to get myself a high-end canoe. So after all these years paddling Old Town boats around, and carrying them (and they are so heavy, let me tell you), I treated myself to a carbon-kevlar solo canoe. It's the RapidFire by Placid Boatworks. It's sleek and beautiful, and a good deal narrower than I'm used to. It looks like I have to learn all over again how to get into a canoe!
