The Whitewater Open Canoe
Standard whitewater river canoe length 8’- 14’
Hull material :
- Royalex (Probe, Viper, Outrage, Ocoee)
- Royalite, (Spark )
- Polyethilene (Spanish Fly, L’Edge)
A standard feature of a whitewater canoe is a rockered (non-flat) bottom, allowing the boat to make quick turns.
Outfitted with a saddle, foot pegs, and knee straps - all designed to hold the paddler into the boat.
Whitewater canoes are float bag compatible, rigged to easily install float bags.
Whitewater open canoes are designed either for solo paddling or tandem paddling. The Mohawk Probe 14' can be installed with a unique saddle that can be paddled in one direction as a solo or turn around and paddle it as a tandem.
If you are new to the sport of whitewater canoeing, you will find that your skills progress at a faster rate if you start in a longer boat (11' -13')
Once you are proficient with your stokes and braces then you can move to a shorter canoe.
