Slipstream Watercraft

I absolutely love this boat and this company. It is magnificent a joy to paddle and incredibly light you will not be disappointed

Slipstream Watercraft changed my life. I'm not kidding. I used an 80-pound canoe on a weekend camping trip in 2020; and the portages nearly destroyed my interest in paddling. Then, in September 2021, I visited the wonderful folks at Slipstream; and I test paddled several different ultralight canoe models. Wow! They were so light and easy to maneuver. I ordered my custom-built canoe that day; and 4 weeks later I had my new best friend, Slipstream Sal, a beautiful, blue SportDuo 13 ultralight canoe. In one year, I've paddled over 40 different lakes, streams and rivers; and Sal has enabled some truly amazing paddling/camping trips with multiple portages. I'm in my 60's; and I feel 40 years younger! By myself, I can easily put Sal on or off the roof of my car, carry Sal up and down 1-mile rocky paths, and paddle Sal through gorgeous scenery nearly anywhere. And, because of the adjustable tandem seating, I have many times taken a partner padding with me in Sal to share in the joy. Stan, Cathy and everyone at Slipstream - thank you for your fantastic service and quality craftwork and for opening up a whole new world of amazing adventures!

My wife and I have been putting our brand new Slipstream 12' St. Regis through the paces (it's technically hers:), and what a joy this canoe is to paddle , transport, and to just look at . Stan and Kathy hand craft a beautiful series of boats, and were very generous with their time and knowledge. We are already planning our trips for next year. Many thanks to everyone at Slipstream .

If you're looking for a lightweight canoe, definitely check out Slipstream. Their people are willing to explain and share information with you, and answer lots of questions from ignorant people like me. We took some of their canoes out for trials, and walked away with a really good sense of what we were looking at.
