IN-STOCK! Swift Cruiser 17.8
Carbon Fusion
Black & Gold Carbon Kevlar Trim
Carbon Tech Package
Do you enjoy putting mile after mile behind your stern? Do you dream of a solo canoe that can swallow epic distances on an expedition while shrugging off rough water and confused seas? Would you like a solo hull that responds to an edge with the responsiveness and confidence of a top-shelf sea kayak? The Cruiser 17.8 is your boat.
A foot longer and two inches narrower than the Crusier 16.8, it carries the same volume in a faster, beautifully responsive hull shape. The Cruiser 17.8 is designed for the ultra-distance racer, daily fitness paddler, and epically-fast expedition tripper seeking a hull that combines speed with handling performance. We’ve put Olympians and ultra-distance winners in it and they’ve all come back to shore with ear-to-ear grins.
Ideal For; Larger Paddlers, Ultra Distance Canoe Racing, Fitness Paddling, Multi Day Tripping,
