Solo Canoes are the best! We are having so much fun showing ultralight canoes to people again. We do part demo and part #canoeclass with each outing.
This canoe demo has been a frequent shoot out for me this season. Small to mid-sized paddlers often are drawn to these two canoes from Northstar Canoes. But, as you will see later in the vid, these are also really fun canoes for average to even larger paddlers who have some skills and want a nimble craft. We have so much fun showing you these #solocanoes and hope that it helps you in your quest for the perfect canoe. We have also added a few help #paddlingtips along the way.
If you want to see one canoe vs the other, just let us know in the comments and we'll try to get to it.
The awesome sun shirt I’m wearing in this video and many others has become my "go to" for hot days on the water. The zipper pockets are awesome to make sure you don't lose valuables.

The Northstar Trillium is the smaller sister to the NW solo. The Firebird is the smaller sister to the Phoenix. Both canoes are around 26-27 lbs. If you delve into the specs, you'll notice that while the Trillium is a foot longer than the firebird, it is 1" shallower bow/mid/stern and a 1/2 narrower at that max width. I also find that the cockpit is a bit fuller in the Firebird with gives it a different feel. Especially on edge.
Stay tuned for more #canoeinstruction ! We are just getting started!
