Paddling the Nooksack River on July 12, 2008 near Glacier, WA. The river is rated Class II in this section - read about it on the AmericanWhitewater.org.
The NuCanoe performed great! It was very stable and maneuverable, even in the fast water. When going through sections of big rapids, the NuCanoe did take on water, sometimes a lot. But that didn't cause any problems. Another benefit is that the NuCanoe is bouyant and floats upsidedown...so even if the paddler falls out and the NuCanoe tips over, you can still climb on and paddle your way to shore.
Overall, a great day. Getting into Class II water has its inherent risks, but the NuCanoe performs well and is very maneuverable. On the Class I & unrated sections, it was a relaxing comfortable float down the river.

A Happy Anniversary with a NuCanoe
From a customer of Eagle Creek Kayaks in Zionsville, IN. She bought her parents a 12' Desert Sand NuCanoe for their Anniversary.
Marc,
A picture of my parents with their NuCanoe. They were shock needless to say. It even brought tears to my father's eyes when we drove in Saturday with it on Memorial Day weekend, and believe me that is not something that comes easily. But both were elated to receive their Anniversary gift. They took it out today on Lake Wausau, which is a sizable lake along with many other boat enthusiasts on such a lovely day, and my mother said she felt very secure in it and my father said that that even in the motor boats' wake the NuCanoe was very stable, and he kept wanting the motor boats to bring on more! I want to thank you for all your efforts in making this dream possible for them.

Paddling down the Skagit River
The river was high and moving swiftly, adding to the fun of an afternoon float down the Skagit River in Northwest Washington. The weather was great, and the NuCanoes made the trip as relaxing and enjoyable as could be.

NuCanoe Review from Tennessee
"Well, I have had my 10' NuCanoe for about 2 months now and have not had it out as much as I would like, but, the times that I have had it out, were great! I really like my NuCanoe! Very stable and fun to paddle and fish from. It paddles very easily up stream as well as on open bodies of water. You have a great product here and I know that I have probably sold a couple locally just from other people seeing it on the water and asking questions. Job well done with this boat. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a river/lake boat that is easy to load/unload, very stable, very easy to paddle with a double paddle, very comfortable and just plain fun."

Family Fishing Fun
"We love our Nucanoe! Took the kids out to Lake Padden on Sunday and Julian caught this sweet 14" Rainbow trout. This boat is so stable that I can take my kids out in it without any worries about tipping--even when my rowdy 6 yr old forgets he's in a small boat and stands up/moves around. You can't do that in a regular canoe. Plus I can load/unload it myself out of the pickup truck, so can get out fishing with just the kids and me. This boat was truly made for taking kids fishing."
Thank you.
Best regards,

NuCanoe Rowing on Lake Union
The NuCanoe Rower received a thorough test on the weekend. A 10' NuCanoe and 12' NuCanoe, both equipped with the rowing outriggers and 7' oars, took to Lake Union in Seattle, WA on a breezy Saturday afternoon. And it was excellent! The NuCanoes cut through the water with ease, track well even in rough conditions, and provide great stability. An enjoyable afternoon for all!
