Solo Whitewater Canoe



The Shaman offers a fresh new vision in whitewater open canoes. Gracefully Styled and impeccably constructed, here is a highly responsive, very predictable solo playboat for whitewater enthusiasts of all skill levels. The freedom to play rapids at will requires a canoe that reacts to your control signals with ease. The balanced design features of this canoe deliver a surprising range of performance. Slalom-like maneuverability combined with enhanced glide and cruising speed allow you to direct the Shaman with precise control.

Custom crafted in a tough, lightweight Kevlar hybrid laminate to optimize overall performance on the water, this canoe is also pleasant to carry. Available as a trimmed hull only or with a variety of outfitting options. Take the opportunity to test paddle a Shaman at your earliest convenience. Whether technical playing, surfing or cruising, we believe you will be impressed.
