I bought this beautiful Loon as an engagement gift for my wife over 10 years ago. It has been a wonderful flatwater canoe, responsive, stable, and tracks well even in heavy wind. We use it to conduct Naturalist tours of the Upper Newport Bay in California, although it also got heavy use when we lived in Virginia on lakes and broad rivers. It was a treat to learn that it was designed by Bob Foote, who was one of our early whitewater canoe coaches. After all these years it still gets admiring looks when it is on the water.

I actually bought this canoe--in red--over ten years ago as an engagement gift for my beloved. We paddle it now on the Upper Newport Bay in California, and it is, and always has been, a dream to paddle. There is actually one other Loon stored at the Newport Aquatic Center! I will always recommend it to anyone who wants a great flatwater boat.
