By Alan Kesselheim So you want to go paddling this summer, but aren't too keen to
haul your boat to remote put-ins? You aren't alone. Traditional,
hard-shell canoes and kayaks are heavy, awkward, and expensive
to transport. Pakboats Puffin II Solo paddlers can go anywhere in this versatile craft. For multiday travel, the Puffin II is designed to carry one solo paddler and a week's worth of gear. The durable aluminum tubing frame assembles easily, requires little maintenance, and handles sweetly in touring applications under a wide variety of water conditions. I've paddled it in class II rapids and on flat, open lakes without complaint. And I really like how effortlessly you can load the boat; simply unsnap the deck at the bow and stern to gain access. When disassembled, the whole thing packs into a small duffel you could carry on a plane.
