Canoeing Sand River, Ontario        1996

Dear Alv,

We had a great canoe trip on the Sand River in Northern Ontario, thanks in no small part to your new boat. It was nimble, responsive, and easy to transport.

We ran most of the drops, and it behaved beautifully both fully loaded and empty. It ran much drier than our other (non-collapsible) canoe, even on small waterfalls.

The new seat is great, very comfortable and even useful on portages. Another advantage was portability. Your Pak*Canoe is light and easy to carry. There were no excess baggage charges on the train or plane, and it fit into my friend's Saturn along with 3 people, 4 packs, 5 paddles, and all our food.

In sum, it was a hell of a lot of fun to paddle and I can't wait to take it out again.

Best Regards

Tim Kunin
