Denali

What a beautiful boat. The ABS construction produces a shiny smooth surface that is significantly stiffer than poly. It is a very fast boat and its design is so graceful. It takes awhile to get used to its initial stability which can feel a bit tippy at first. Overall it ends up being stable. The AKRF is easy to deploy but hardly needed as the Denali tracks very true regardless of wind direction. Very well built quality construction. Lots of space without being sloppy. It’s a boat that makes you feel good while enjoying the paddle. Very nice rig.

We purchased the Denali for my husband with the goal to start paddling lakes of the Midwest and head to Isle Royale for bigger water adventures. The Denali is a beautiful quality boat, but is a bit tippier than my novice kayaking husband likes. We probably should have put him in something with less of a tine angle or a wider bottom. On smaller lakes he is a bit rocky, but in actual big water and waves his boat shines and he actually feels much more secure than our other boats. It has great storage capacity and loads well for our multi-day camping trips. We love our light Eddylines for portaging. Carrying it up and over the .8 mile beast of a portage from Duncan Bay to Tobin Harbor went pretty well.
