A highly maneuverable solo for small rivers and whitewater paddling.

This is a crossover design; it's highly capable on fast water, but it travels quite well with less of a current, too.

The Rendezvous has 2 1/2" of rocker to turn quickly, and deep, flared ends to deflect waves. Its wide, full hull also gives plenty of buoyancy on frothy water. Lightly loaded, this hull loves to play, and many people buy it just for that reason alone.

But it's not a quirky whitewater dart, rather a downriver canoe. It has an efficient shape and tumblehome for effective paddling. Its performance loaded makes it ideal for trips on fast water, where it has plenty of agility and seaworthiness.

Canoe & Kayak Magazine called it "multifaceted" and gave it high praise. "On whitewater, where I knelt in the canoe," the reviewer noted, "the Rendezvous was a whitewater boat. But on the lower river, where I sat on the seat, it became a cruiser. It stayed dry in the current and waves, it also tracked well and was fast."

We outfit the Rendezvous with a fixed, web seat that is angled down slightly in front. This configuration gives greater control to a person who is kneeling, which is the posture favored by most whitewater paddlers.
