Here is a highly responsive and predictable solo play-boat for whitewater enthusiasts of all skill levels. The graceful styling and balanced design features of the Shaman deliver a surprising range of performance. Slalom-like maneuverability combined with enhanced glide and cruising speed allow boaters to play rapids with precise control. Custom crafted in a tough, lightweight Kevlar® hybrid laminate to optimize overall performance on the water, this canoe is also very manageable to carry. Whether you enjoy technical play-boating, surfing, cruising or slalom and Combined Class competition, we believe you will be impressed. The Shaman's 4-meter length also accommodates lightweight tripping gear loaded in the bow and stern to balance trim when playboaters wish to enjoy multi-day downriver trips where full flotation is not a necessity.
